The committee during its November meeting created a trio of concepts using elements that were a consensus among both survivors of the tragedy and family members of victims. The city has taken on the effort to push for the memorial, which would honor the 49 killed and 53 wounded in a June 12, 2016, mass shooting in the Pulse nightclub near downtown Orlando.
