Members of the public urged the committee to approve a commemorative corner naming for James and Wilhelmina Perkins, citing the couple’s funeral‑home service and longstanding community assistance.

Anthony Dawson and other speakers said the Perkins family ran a business that provided respectful service to grieving families and aided community members in times of need. Witnesses emphasized the Perkins family’s local history and charitable practice.

The committee received the testimony, moved item 3 forward and later adjourned the meeting by voice vote. The transcript does not record final wording of an ordinance or financial details related to signage; the action at the meeting was procedural advancement of the nomination.
