The Commemoration Commission was established in November 2014 by the Takoma Park City Council. The legislation established three recognition levels to be administered by the Commission: 1) a Citywide Recognition program, 2) a Neighborhood/Local Recognition program, and 3) a Personal Recognition program. The January 12 hearing will present the Personal Recognition programs proposed by the Commission. Residents who wish to learn more about the new programs and comment on the programs can sign up to testify at the hearing.
