ANALYSIS The Belle Isle Residents Association has recently worked together with City Staff on the placement of a flag pole at Belle Isle Park. With the placement of the flag pole completed, there is a strong desire by the residents to place a commemorative plaque at the foot of the flag pole honoring the heroic men and women who serve. At the October 26, 2016 City Commission meeting, a referral to the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee (NCAC) was made to consider approving the placement of a plaque at the Belle Isle Park flag pole honoring the heroic men and women in the Armed Forces and First Responders for their service. The item was placed on the November 18, 2016 NCAC agenda, but was deferred. At the December 9, 2016 NCAC meeting, the committee unanimously approved the placement of the plaque at the Belle Isle Park Flag Pole, to be moved to the full Commission with direction for the City Manager to provide funding.
