(A) The County War Memorial Restoration Committee is established. The Committee consists of four members who serve:
(1) At the discretion of the Board;
(2) Until the individual appointment is revoked by the Board; or
(3) Until an appointee resigns the position.
(B) Compensation is not payable to Committee members. It is contemplated that the county will not encounter expenses relative to the functioning of the Committee. Each Committee member must be a resident of the county and knowledgeable of and interested in veterans’ matters.
(C) The County War Memorial Fund is established. The Fund shall be used exclusively for:
(1) The receipt of donations or contributions, in cash or in kind, deemed for the use and benefit of the county government; and
(2) The payment of costs and expenses pertaining to the enlarging, restoring, refurbishing and maintaining the County War Memorial.
(E) The Committee may seek and secure donations and contributions to the Fund. A donation or contribution actually made shall be deposited by the Committee with the County Treasurer. The Treasurer shall establish a separate account or accounting method for deposits to the Fund.
(F) The Committee shall develop and direct to the Board plans, specifications and proposals for the current as well as future enlargement, restoration, refurbishment and maintenance of the County War Memorial, and the expenditure of monies available to the Fund for those purposes. The Board shall then act upon the plans, specifications and proposals, and contract for, or authorize the undertaking of, projects to benefit or preserve the memorial, using the Fund as necessary.
(G) When the Board determines that the purpose of the Fund and the Committee are no longer being properly addressed or fulfilled, the Board may, by appropriate action, terminate the Committee and the Fund. The money in the Fund at that time shall be used, or used at a later appropriate time, to benefit and preserve the Memorial.
