Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Powell public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Veterans memorial at Powell Cemetery
Powell veterans can now be honored with banners on city-owned utility poles. Veterans raise the money for the banners; the city handles hanging and taking them down.
Woods of Powell pedestrian bridge replacement
A tree strike this summer knocked out the 80-foot timber bridge, and inspectors found cracked footings too. A $350,000 replacement is in the plan, pending an insurance question.
