The committee to change the name of city hall to honor longtime former village/city clerk, treasurer, and manager Artemus Pappas is in the process of finalizing the design concept and choosing the sign maker.
The next step is to raise funds needed to cover the sign and plaque expenses, as well as some landscaping and an unveiling reception in memory of Pappas, which will not use any public funding.
Pappas who served the City for 46 years, lost a battle with cancer April 3 at the age of 76.
Anyone interested in donating to the fund should contact Dennis Ritter at city hall or any of the committee members. Ritter can be reached at 248-625-3370.
