FROM Human Services Department
SUBJECT: VETERANS MEMORIAL STATUS REPORT
AGEND.Al,
ITEM NO.
DATE
Summary: The following is a status report on the progress of the
proposed Veterans Memorial.
BACKGROUND
For the past two years, the Veterans Memorial Committee has
continued their work to finalize the design of the proposed
memorial in the Civic Center Complex. The Committee has worked
with a local landscape architect, Tom Segura, to arrive at a
solution acceptable to all concerned.
The latest re -design incorporates the features requested by the
City Council and increases both the site layout and size of the
memorial. (See attached sketches)
NEW CONCEPT
A new concept that is being considered by the Committee calls for
the memorial to alsoincorporate the requirements for an outdoor
stage. A multi -use facility would seem to be beneficial to the
community and might help make the project more attractive to
donors.
It is intended to address the need for a bandshell in the community
while providing a worthy memorial to veterans of all wars.
STATUS
The Committee will present the concept to the Human Services
Commission on February 8, 1994, to receive their comments and
recommendation on the new multi -use memorial. Staff will prepare
a Council report with the Commission's recommendation and bring it
to the Council in late February or early March, 1994.
RECOMMENDATION
. That the City Council receive and file this report.
