A proposal to designate part of the grounds of Leawood City Hall as a veterans memorial plaza got a favorable reaction from city councilmembers last week as they met in a special work session.
A temporary committee that had been meeting since November recommended the city hall location near the entrance flagpoles and the bubbling rock fountain because that area would require only minimal upgrades and because it already has space for gatherings. Councilmember Debra Filla said the location seems to be a good fit. “It’s that ‘Eureka’ moment of doing it right here in the courtyard which is a beautiful space that does not get enough traffic in my estimation,” she said. Councilmember Julie Cain also gave it a good review. “The idea of having that out there only enhances our courtyard,” she said. “It’s an elegant solution and costworthy and functional. It pretty much checks all the boxes.”
