Royal Oak rejects veterans petition for vote to halt memorial move
View Comments
A petition seeking a citywide vote on Royal Oak s plans to move a veterans memorial has been rejected as legally insufficient, a city official told organizers this week.
City officials want to move the Royal Oak Veterans Memorial 40 feet from its current location south of the public library to expand paved areas for walking as part of a planned park known as Centennial Commons.
City clerk Melanie Halas sent one of the petition drive s organizers, Edward Burkhardt, emails on April 21 and May 4 indicating that enough of the 1,000 signatures on the petitions were valid to put the issue on the November ballot.
