This chapter shall be known and may be cited as the "Veterans War Memorial
Ordinance."
This is a chapter to designate a portion of the Barbara A. Hallman Memorial
Plaza for continued use as a memorial honoring members of the American and
Canadian armed forces who have lost their lives in service to their country.
The Royal Oak City Commission hereby makes the following findings:
A. In 1997, the City Commission adopted a resolution naming
the area between City Hall, the Royal Oak Public Library, Troy Street and
the Veterans' War Memorial as the Barbara A. Hallman Memorial Plaza.
B. In 2006, the Veterans' War Memorial was moved from
the western end of the Hallman Plaza to its current location between City
Hall and the Library, and was rededicated in memory of members of the American
and Canadian armed forces who have lost their lives in service to their country.
C. The current site of the Veterans' War Memorial is
an appropriate location for the Memorial, and the designation of that area
for continued use as a memorial honoring members of the American and Canadian
armed forces who have lost their lives in service to their country should
be formalized by way of ordinance.
The following portion of the Barbara A. Hallman Memorial Plaza is designated
for continued use as a memorial honoring members of the American and Canadian
armed forces who have lost their lives in service to their country:
That portion of vacated Second Street (East of vacated Williams Street
and West of Troy Street), extending from the East line of vacated Williams
Street to the West line of Troy Street, adjacent to Lot 7, vacated public
alley, and Lot 8 in Block 1 of Assessor's Plat No. 20, and also adjacent
to Lot 1 in Block 12 of Assessor's Plat No. 20. Also including the northernmost
10.00 feet of the aforementioned Lot 1 in Block 12; all in Assessor's
Plat No. 20, T. 1N., R. 11E., City of Royal Oak, Oakland County, Michigan,
as recorded in Liber 53, Page 33 of Plats, Oakland County Records.
