Veterans Advisory Committee Minutes May 28,2019 Page 12 Hanato: I have another off the wall notification. We have boys scouts that assist at the cemetery. We have couple Eagle Scouts that did projects at the cemetery, there's another project that they want to do. They want to put a flag on top of the hill, which originally was supposed to have been put and then the one where it is now. The boys scouts have been putting in for a permit to put up a permanent flag pole on the top. It should withstand the heavy rains, etc. If anything that comes through for them to request any verbal assistance or paper assistance can you give us a hand on that? Iyo: I saw an email come through asking about that. I think they were notified to check with the VA. I'm not real familiar but there can only be a certain amount of flags at a certain location. They would also have to get a building permit, since it's going to be a structure larger than six feet. I'm not sure if there's going to get that approval though. Hanato: In the original map, there are two flag poles one on op of the hill and one down below where it is now. This is an Eagle Scout project ad they want to put one on the top so we don't have to have one guy go up on the top of the hill and hold the flag. That's what they've been doing for quite a while. Chair Doolittle: You're saying that there was a flag pole designated for that space in the original plan, but it's never been constructed. Maybe you already have the authority to put one there, and you don't need a permit. Hanato: Well, we just want to make sure everything is legal. Iyo: We'll have Maurice look into it. Chair Doolittle: Maurice will look into it. Hanato: Thank you. Thank You Letter Presentation Korean War Veterans &VFW Post 3875 for Cleaning of Headstones at Veterans I & II for Memorial Day: Chair Doolittle: Maurice was going to read thank you letters but he left. Iyo: J has those letters. Yoshimoto: Mr. Messina had to attend a meeting, he apologizes for leaving. I'd like to read these letters into the record. The first letter dated May 20th addressed to Mr. Emile Wery. Dear Mr. Wery: Please extend our department's sincere appreciation to all volunteers for the community service project you undertook and accomplished to clean all headstones at Veterans Cemetery I&II May 16 — 17, 2019.
