Veterans Advisory Committee <br /> Minutes November 26,2019 <br /> Page 5 <br /> Chair Doolittle: Right, it's the gap that were trying to fill. We're not trying to step on <br /> anyone's toes. Maybe even a little County recognition. A little sign that says this <br /> monument is maintained by so-and-so. <br /> Lewis: Right, like the Hakalau monument that I didn't even know was there. <br /> Chair Doolittle: do we have any motions that we want to make to move this forward? <br /> George Sheridan: do we need one? <br /> Lewis: Well we don't want to put it out until we're tracking them. When we put together <br /> something to track it then we can put it out in a PR to fill the gaps. <br /> Chair Doolittle: The monuments that are on public lands we can have Parks & Rec give <br /> us an assessment of them. The ones that aren't, we need to identify the ones that aren't <br /> and then we should find a way to either, ourselves go out individually, split up and visit <br /> them over the next three months and do an assessment of their condition. <br /> Lewis: I would encourage us to do it like a"where's Waldo." What is the fact that you <br /> may not know about the site? We can draw up a little fact sheet that accompanies it. If <br /> any group wants to do it, they can go do it. <br /> Chair Doolittle: We can also appeal to our various VFW members that live close to these <br /> to go out and take pictures of it and circulate it back to us. So, we don't have to actually <br /> go out there and look at each one. <br /> Lewis: We have to do the assessment and keep the information so that it's self- <br /> perpetuating, sustainable. We already have a lot of things on our book. I think that raising <br /> the awareness in a way that people can take action is a great thing. We need to say that's <br /> ok to do that kind of activity. When we're at a place to publicize it, it may be our next <br /> meeting that we approve what were saying, were tracking it and give the three months for <br /> people to comment on it. Making sure were tracking it because we only want to go out <br /> there once. Then we can make it actionable, when we make it actionable, what do we <br /> want to do. Sometimes we just want to make it known. <br /> Chair Doolittle: Just having a basic assessment of each of them and who's maintaining <br /> what today. The people that live in that area, if they have a place where they can report <br /> vandalism or need, there's a need or something else. <br /> Lewis: Does anyone have an idea of a website that would help with that? <br /> Messina: Well like Marcia says on the front, talking about where she developed this <br /> from. Where she got it from. I don't know if those websites actually have more <br /> information than what she compiled there. <br />
