A formal recommendation was made to the Review Advisory Committee at it’s January 2007 meeting for consideration of the following:
• That Metro begins exclusive negotiations with the owners of the Evergreen Cemetery for the space required to re-inter all of the human skeletal remains and artifacts in individual plots adjacent to the Historical Chinese Shrine. The space required should also accommodate space for a memorial.
• That Metro provides funding for the replication of select artifacts as designated by the Ad-Hoc Sub Committee after lengthy public comment on the issue. Three sets should be replicated in order to distribute as follows: Chinese Historical Society of Southern CA, Los Angeles Chinese Consolidated Benevolent Association and the incorporation of one set into one of the Boyle Heights stations.
The motion passed unanimously.

• That each set of human skeletal remains be re-interred individually.

Begin 4-week public outreach on March 03, 2007 after the Chinese New Year festivities that take place from the eve of February 17, 2007 through March 02, 2007.
In November 2006, the Committee requested the following as it relates to the Next-Of-Kin outreach:
• Provide a new proposal that considers Chinese Cable television ads only in Cantonese and other Cantonese radio stations as was to be recommended by Committee Member, Irvin Lai.
• Do not consider purchasing ad time in English or Spanish radio and television, but pursue options for public access.
• Plans for press kick-off event.

Mr. Irvin Lai provided several recommendations for Metro’s Media Buyer to consider for updated proposal.
• Two of the recommendations were not media companies, but rather non-profit service organizations. Family Hope Line and Chinese Outreach will be considered for the postcard outreach.
• The Southern CA Chinese Broadcasting Company is a Mandarin radio station, not Cantonese and can only be received via a signal box (similar to satellite radio, there is no subscription service)
• KMNY is no longer in business. Its call letters have changed toKAHZ and it is a simulcast station with KAZN, but it is a Mandarin station, not Cantonese.
