The City Council of the City of Pottsville hereby
signifies its intention and desire to establish and organize a Garfield
Square Monument Committee.
The Garfield Square Monument Committee shall
consist of five members, all of whom shall be citizens of the City
of Pottsville, with three of the five members being the Mayor, the
Director of Parks and Public Property and an active member of the
Pottsville Joint Veterans Association. The term of office of members
shall be four years, to coincide with the term of office of the Mayor
of the City of Pottsville. The Mayor shall appoint said members, and
in the event of vacancies, the Mayor shall appoint a member to fill
the unexpired term. Members whose terms have expired shall hold office
until their successors have been appointed.
The Committee shall make recommendations to
the City for the maintenance and care of the Garfield Square Monument
area, including, but not limited to, the placement and removal of
monuments, flags, and any other item appropriate for the Garfield
Square Monument area. Said authority, however, shall not conflict
with the regular maintenance performed by the City of Pottsville,
Department of Parks and Public Property.
The Committee shall perform all of the duties
and shall exercise all of the powers now or hereafter conferred upon
said Committee under state law and City ordinances.
