The Committee feels as though it is important to be involved with the process of <br />this restoration. A public input session is expected to occur sometime in September <br />regarding how the planned restoration would involve a change in visual color of the <br />statue. The public input session will provide an opportunity for the community to voice <br />their opinion concerning the color of the statue. With limited time to prepare, the <br />committee is looking at ways to productively contribute /offer recommendations during <br />the proposed session. <br />• The group agreed that moving forward, the purpose of the Monuments and Memorials <br />Committee should involve project recommendations, subsequently forwarding to board <br />of selectmen for action. <br />• Members of the committee have been actively adding Lexington monuments /memorials <br />to a new database. Members will continue adding to the inventory, and a rough draft will <br />be sent out once complete. The group agreed that photos of the inventory should be <br />added to the database. <br />• No update concerning the Somerset Road WWII Memorial Project. The group discussed <br />the potential to plant trees and coordinate with C. Filadoro. <br />Housekeeping <br />• The next Monuments and Memorials Committee Meeting was scheduled for September <br />3, 2015 @ 6:OOp.m. <br />The meeting was adjourned at 7:30 p.m. <br />Submitted by <br />Gina M.
