During the July 2025 Lititz Borough Council meeting, members paid tribute to the late Verne, a beloved community figure known for his vibrant spirit and family stories. The council announced that a signage request to identify trees in his honor had been approved, with educational information to be provided by Scott and his team. Additionally, a tree will be planted in Verne's memory, and his wife, Nikki, plans to donate a park bench to commemorate him, with the council working to find an appropriate location.

In another note, council member Jerry, who was unable to attend the meeting due to travel in Canada, expressed his gratitude for the public works department, police department, and emergency services, particularly for their efforts during the July 4 event. His appreciation highlights the importance of community services and their role in enhancing local celebrations.

These discussions reflect the council's commitment to honoring community members and recognizing the contributions of local services, reinforcing the bonds that hold the Lititz community together. As the borough moves forward, these initiatives not only celebrate individual legacies but also strengthen community ties and support public engagement.
