Present at the meeting were city staff members, committee members, community members, and media representatives. Mrs. Anderson explained what the Strategic Planning Committee does and stated that the purpose of today's meeting was to start a discussion on a creation of a Robb School Memorial. This was not the official committee for the Robb School Memorial, and suggestions made were not official decisions. This was simply a discussion meeting. Mrs. Anderson provided information on the Sandy Hook Memorial. The Sandy Hook tragedy happened on December 14, 2012, and as of August 2, 2022, there is no existing information or pictures of a memorial that has been built. The city of Newtown, Connecticut has developed a committee, a plan, and they are in the process of building a memorial. Mrs. Anderson stated that we do not want to wait 10 years to develop a memorial. Committee members shared input on locations for the memorial, such as Robb Elementary, El Progreso Memorial Library, and Downtown Plaza. They shared that Page 13 of 2 4  they would like the committee to be made up of family members and community members. They also shared ideas for the memorial, such as 21 plaques around the fountain at the Downtown Plaza, suggesting re-naming the plaza to "Plaza de Los Angeles" or "Remembrance Plaza". Suggested having plaques at the library. Statutes at Robb Elementary, demolishing school but keeping the sign, having a park-like setting at the school, and having a place of solitude and reflection at Robb Elementary. All ideas shared were documented. 4. ADJOURNMENT Board Chair City Secretary Page 2 4 of 2 4
