Community honors legacy of beloved former council member

During the latest council meeting, community engagement was minimal, with no public participation recorded in the community forum segment. Chair Dominique noted the absence of attendees both in-person and via Zoom, leading to the closure of the forum.

Council member Herrera took the opportunity to remind residents of a 9/11 Memorial event scheduled for the following morning at 5:45 AM at the community park located at 100 Laurel Street in Milton. He emphasized the significance of the memorial, which features a 35-foot steel beam, and encouraged community members to attend.

Council member Denson shared a heartfelt tribute to former council member Terry Lee, who recently passed away. Denson attended Lee's funeral, where many spoke of his profound impact on the community and his legacy, which includes contributions to local parks such as Cushman Trail. Denson reflected on Lee's character, noting that he was universally respected and beloved, and expressed that his absence would be deeply felt by both his family and the community.

The meeting concluded with no further business or announcements from other council members, as Ms. Long confirmed there were no additional items to discuss.
