At the July 15th   2008 City Council meeting, the Memorializing Sugar Land Memorial Park strategic project and process was reviewed with the City Council. The City Council recommended proceeding with the creation of a task force to assist in the memorializing process. At the August 19th, 2008 City Council meeting, the Memorializing Task Force was appointed by City Council Resolution 08-27.
