Tuesday night, city leaders decided to listen to the community before taking any action on creating a permanent memorial. They’ll get feedback throughout the rest of the summer and will have a proposal on what to do in the fall.
The council also voted 11-0 to approve more than $3 million that will be used to renovate Building 2 where the shooting happened.
The city government is inviting citizens to provide their input about the temporary memorial, establishing a permanent memorial and the future of Building 2 in a survey, which will be open through July 26. You can access the survey from both your computer and smartphone here.
