    The first clip includes a presentation by Don Wilkinson, as a representative of the Washington Park Town Board. He asks the Washington council to support their efforts to get DOT to renovate the railroad crossing on N. C. 33 near Havens Garden. He also speaks as a private citizen opposing the re-routing of East Main Street in that area.

    Also included in the clip is a presentation by Carter Leary representing the Confederate Graves Committee recommending the moving of some World War I mortars that are currently located in the Oakdale Cemetery to Veterans' Park and the display of Confederate flags at the Confederate Monument in the Oakdale Cemetery. Mr. Leary was kind enough to provide us with a copy of the material he presented to the Council and you can review it by clicking here.
