Darren shows updated Veterans Memorial rendering; monuments, flagpoles to be installed

Darren, who introduced recent site photos and renderings, told the council the Veterans Memorial is "moving" and that staff has "finalized the design and approved Kenworthy to start building" the monuments that will carry "the names of all the veterans in the valley." He said the flagpole installer will core‑drill and set sleeves and that curb, gutter and sidewalk work are being scheduled.

The rendering Darren shared is not final, he cautioned, but staff said the completed concrete work shown in the photos was done since the last update. "That circle is, like, perfect," Darren said, praising the concrete contractor Jared Higgins. Council members replied with brief thanks and asked staff to continue contractor scheduling updates as the project moves toward monument installation.

The presentation did not include a construction schedule or final cost estimate; staff said the next steps are completing concrete work, setting flagpoles and installing the monuments once fabricated.
