Ellis County Commission approves 'Operation Green Light' to honor veterans
Summary
The commission approved Resolution 2025-18 Oct. 21 to light county buildings green during the week before Veterans Day as part of Operation Green Light; county staff said the change uses existing equipment and will incur minimal expense.
The Ellis County Commission unanimously approved Resolution 2025-18 Oct. 21 to participate in Operation Green Light, a program that recognizes U.S. military veterans by lighting public buildings green during the week before Veterans Day.
Darren Myers, county administrator, presented the resolution and said the county has participated in the program in prior years. “It’s a national thing that the county governments throughout The United States do through the National Association of Counties,” Myers said. He told commissioners the effort requires little new expense because the county already has the lighting equipment; staff time from Buildings and Grounds will be needed to place or activate the lights.
Commissioners approved the measure on a 3-0 vote. The motion and second were recorded in the meeting transcript without a named mover; the clerk announced the motion passed 3-0.
The resolution directs Buildings and Grounds staff to place green lighting on county buildings during the designated week. Myers said staff will perform the work using existing equipment and that only minimal time and material costs are expected. The exact schedule for switching the lights on was described as the week of Veterans Day; the transcript did not specify exact dates or times of activation beyond that description.
