City staff said the DAR is coordinating research to identify Delaware County individuals who fought in the Revolutionary War and that the proposal calls for matching memorials in Sunbury, Powell and Delaware with a common theme so visitors could travel to all three sites. The committee was told the Delaware County Veterans Service office is supporting the project and expects to provide funding for the memorials; staff cited a potential budget figure in the neighborhood of $100,000 per community but said the veterans-service board had not yet finalized a budget.

Staff said the DAR will attend the committee’s next meeting to present details and answer questions about design, research and site selection. The project description in the packet calls for a design competition open to local and nonlocal artists; the final designs for each community may differ but would share unifying elements. The committee asked staff to assemble a list of potential sites; staff noted Sunbury Cemetery’s older section fronting Columbus Street as one option.

Staff said the DAR would lead research and fundraising and is asking only that the city help identify and provide a location if the project moves forward. No formal city commitment or funding decision was made at the April 17 meeting; the committee will hear the DAR representative at the next meeting for more detail on budget and site recommendations.

Ending: The committee requested staff return with a short list of site options and invited the DAR representative to the next meeting to present the project and clarify funding commitments from the Delaware County Veterans Service office.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Events and Commemorations Committee 4/17/2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Daughters of the American Revolution propose three county memorials (Sunbury, Delaware, Powell) to mark the U.S. 250th anniversary; the Delaware County Veterans Service office is expected to support funding and a design competition could result in about $100,000 per community, organizers said.","taxTitle","Sunbury City, Delaware County, Ohio","taxId",53946,"location","Ohio","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6269261,"Blackjack Disc Golf Club plans July 5 Kinslow Marathon; organizers expect about 72 players",82,897000,979000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3044743-0821c89874a1257aadedee1a9de0a223&start=897&end=979","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3044743-0821c89874a1257aadedee1a9de0a223/thumbnail_897000.jpg","/articles/6269261/Ohio/Blackjack-Disc-Golf-Club-plans-July-5-Kinslow-Marathon-organizers-expect-about-72-players","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6269261-f181aa3f9f59cf51b289de536a5d4f22/orig.mp4?Expires=1770752455&Signature=cte~y5s1cnopI61gZ8hAKxAy90jm8r3QjcJsk4nL9Ds-fHo9VXZb6OzQZ57XQqlmWfwKkVbWVvumvdoWzDlCXGbeixMKHeVYThhrrdIUVRrbwewTDIS8V2xXaFkCT5asFb1GAH-YSCmsu04hvJBAeMPL1u2s4yFO-XDem5WDFJOq0ZVZFuFi5efYyl1~wPM9nyXMVDhsC3dszCVWxP~qCv3qP68H0GID~Q5b8ciZLvYsVcUxndNOrwee18YiOGpT00kKyQ~1naejwaNmI8HFzZPIqU0fcvbVXD56Ss~0VC9FvNE9DDkPGr6lzjTrJU-MkS~X-YyUuCokpz4q8khtCA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff briefed the Sunbury City Parks & Recreation Committee on April 17 about a proposed disc-golf event organized by the Blackjack Disc Golf Club.

The event, called the Kinslow Marathon, is scheduled for July 5 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., with a rain date of Aug. 9, staff said. Entry is listed at $50 per player; organizers plan to donate 20 to 25 percent of proceeds to the Alzheimer’s Association and will use the remainder to cover event costs. Staff said event organizers expect about 72 participants and plan three rounds over a single day.

Staff told the committee the organizers requested no city electrical hookups, will handle their own clean-up and that emergency services and the services department have reviewed the application and found no red flags.

No formal city permit action was taken at the April 17 meeting. City staff said they will continue processing the event request and will notify the committee if any issues arise.

Ending: The committee did not vote on the event; staff reported the application had been reviewed by emergency services and city services with no objections noted.","A new disc-golf event — the Kinslow Marathon — will be held July 5 with a rain date of Aug. 9; organizers plan to donate 20–25% of entry fees to the Alzheimer’s Association and have requested minimal city services.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6269264,"Sunbury committee weighs moving July 4 fireworks to new high school, tightens event planning",908,138000,1046000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3044743-0821c89874a1257aadedee1a9de0a223&start=138&end=1046","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3044743-0821c89874a1257aadedee1a9de0a223/thumbnail_138000.jpg","/articles/6269264/Ohio/Sunbury-committee-weighs-moving-July-4-fireworks-to-new-high-school-tightens-event-planning","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6269264-e7e992f54f4e2328b9462075d7d6a98a/orig.mp4?Expires=1770752455&Signature=WvrdPgH05MIdxR4yyhC5V3w0OPr2SnC-rtek4y8ao1Ww16Voaz9l0KZLAvRpaAk-x2yUP13zeVLqvJeCyKshbTBEWqSgldAiNRK6Ie9f1rCwBKPc9uDrlUU0T5iA92ZaZq8fxlyrYgXLKfCM5I~l1DgJbiLd1u7hSHkatUnSZKUXW3NM4zm0xaTNjU1Fr5voYIzxMYFcUJu06KSwcNeyVHCHx0XBwP91Xvq2Da2UFfcsWIZtunxjQdhhR0O5Rfz2-TSUWY37Gdt5vZ4TGmymWT6xsl~tykDeJKYM1sN9xZe5UNlDDIJvXdGYFqsW6vSESfO-eqYIUPKtRMbBhgvfdw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","City staff told the Sunbury City Parks & Recreation Committee on April 17 that the working group is recommending concentrating July 4 activities at the fireworks launch site rather than adding simultaneous events on the town square.

“We are kind of targeting the resources to be directed toward more of an event at the site of the fireworks than trying to layer on an additional activity on the square,” City staff said, describing the aim as avoiding being \"spread too thinly\" across multiple event sites.

Why it matters: moving the fireworks could increase spectator safety, make traffic management easier and allow a larger fireworks show, staff said. The group identified the new Sunbury High School as a possible launch site and is scheduling a meeting with the school superintendent and facilities director to seek the district’s agreement. Staff said Sunbury Police and the fire district have reviewed the option and signaled that they support the move in principle, subject to the school district’s approval.

Fire-safety and show composition: staff said the fire district indicated that lower-altitude “low shooting” effects would be excluded if the show is moved to the high school; instead, the program would use only higher-reaching shells. “They are gonna cut those out of the show ... so you’re gonna have only 6 inch shells,” City staff said.

Traffic and viewing: Staff noted the high school site offers more green space and room for spectators and may be easier to clear after the event. The police department told staff it would be easier to manage traffic at the high school than at the current site, staff said. The committee discussed likely viewing points across town (including a Kroger parking-lot vantage that residents have used in the past) and possible shuttle or transit options to ease parking demand.

Event programming and logistics: committee members and staff discussed holding an earlier community event—food trucks, a children’s zone, a small stage for music or contests—before fireworks, instead of immediately after a midday parade, to give residents a chance to return home and cool off. Staff said service crews and gates could help control access around the high school site and that police have not yet finalized a traffic plan.

Permitting: staff said the police chief has already contacted the Ohio Department of Transportation and the city has received the ODOT permit to close State Route 37 for the parade route. The committee did not take a formal vote on changing the fireworks location; staff said further meetings with the school district and first responders will determine next steps.

Next steps: staff will meet with the superintendent and facilities director, continue coordinating with police and fire, and return with updates to the working group and committee. The committee asked staff to keep the public informed through city channels; Amber (city communications) was mentioned as the contact who would post public updates.

Ending: no formal decision to relocate the fireworks was made on April 17; the committee will report back after meetings with the school district and first responders.","Committee discussed consolidating post-parade activities at the fireworks launch site — potentially the new high school — to improve safety and traffic control; police and fire had indicated support pending school-district approval, and the police chief has secured an ODOT permit to close State Route 37 for the parade route.","actionData","errors"]
