possible reopening of the firing range.
ACTION: The Committee attended the tour and received the report.
8. Military Banner Program
Gary Huisingh, Public Works Director, provided a report on a similar banner program in the
City of Downey. This Program is successful as residents are appreciative of the
acknowledgement of military service by its community members. In addition, the program cost
is minimal, at approximately $125 per banner. However, the Program experiences a bit of
difficulty in maintaining an accurate database of military who have returned home as this is
self-reported. Complaints are also fielded when banner locations need to be changed due to
construction projects.
ACTION: The Committee directed staff to provide further research at a future meeting.
9. Request for Future Agenda Items
• Dates of future Committee Meetings
• Presentation of Camp Parks’ Master Plan
• City sponsored new position for Veteran’s Program
ACTION: The items will be included on a future agenda.

4:30 PM.
