~ommittee a plan he had just received in reference to the
contest being held regarding the Veterans Memorial.
He indicated the contest will continue until March 9th and
the Memorial Committee will select five plans to present to
the Beautification/Memorial Park Committee. He brought this
plan along just to get some input and comparison from the
committee.
The design was passed to each member to look at and
discussion was held. Mr. Winston reported that this was
just the first set of plans he had received and wanted to
generate questions. Location for the Veterans Memorial was
discussed as well as height and determination of park size.

it was last year, with a mixture of flowers.
