CITY COUNCIL SPECIAL WORK SESSION December 5, 2016 APPROVED 259 11. Monthly Progress Report — Administrator Karlson reviewed the written report. 260 261 Regarding the veteran's memorial project, Council Member Maher stated that she doesn't 262 feel that the memorial is as important as using limited city resources for services to city 263 residents. Council Member Manthey added that he is still interested in hearing more 264 about possible locations; on the budget he thinks that funds are tight and must be 265 carefully used and perhaps a dual purpose situation makes sense. Mayor Reinert 266 remarked that there's been discussion about providing some funding to start and then 267 seeking donations. Council Member Kusterman said he's okay with locating the 268 memorial at city hall. Council Member Maher said she'd rather provide tangible services 269 to veterans rather than a memorial; location wise, if the project moves forward, she's 270 okay with the city hall location. 271 272 Mayor Reinert said he hears consensus for the location at city hall and he'd like to see 273 some movement forward. Council Member Rafferty said the key to the project is to get it 274 done right. The council asked staff to provide basic information on the site as a basis to 275 start on the project. 276 12.
