<br />City Council <br />Meeting Minutes <br />February 17, 2009 <br />Page 4 of 8 <br /> <br />REGULAR BUSINESS <br /> <br />DISCUSSION/DIRECTION/ACTION - JOHN BREAUX MEMORIAL <br /> <br />Mayor Sisk recognized David Bright (John Breaux's brother), his sister-in-law and <br />two nieces. He also recognized Larry and Crystal Farnsworth who dedicated <br />themselves to collecting donations for a John Breaux memorial. He noted the <br />donations were collected from citizens from the cities of Louisville and Lafayette. <br /> <br />Crystal Farnsworth stated they dedicated themselves to collect donations for a <br />memorial as a tribute to John Breaux. She noted the generosity of the citizens of <br />Louisville and Lafayette and stated there were many touching stories about John. <br /> <br />Larry Farnsworth stated the donations paid for John's funeral expenses. He <br />presented a check to the City for $9,000, for a monument for John Breaux. <br /> <br />Public Relations Manager Muth explained the City has received numerous <br />suggestions of ways to memorialize John. The Staff compiled a list, but no official <br />plans have been made. Staff will work with John's family to be sure they are <br />supportive of any plans. Staff recommends the City proceed with two plans: <br /> <br />1. John Breaux Spring Clean-up: Coordinate with City of Lafayette Staff to <br />explore possible dates for a kick-off event jointly staged by both <br />communities. Included in the clean-up days would be T-Shirts in memory <br />of John, breakfast in the park, followed by a citywide cleanup in each <br />municipality. Louisville would contribute Staff and funding for the event <br />this year, and funding for 2010 would be a budget consideration. <br /> <br />2. Statue/Memorial. Staff will begin looking into cost and location regarding <br />a memorial. Once more information is obtained details will be brought <br />back to City Council for further discussion. <br /> <br />Different departments have received requests for various Adopt-a-Road, Trail or <br />Park in John's honor. At this time, Staff is collecting the information, but will not <br />approve any requests until John's family can determine what they would like. <br /> <br />City Manager Fleming noted the cleanup would not be just one day or in one <br />location, but in numerous locations and over a series of days throughout the <br />year. <br /> <br />PUBLIC COMMENT <br />
