Committee discusses ‘Hometown Heroes’ banners; seeks council endorsement and funding plan
Summary
Committee members reviewed a proposed Hometown Heroes banner program, reported support from Assembly Danielson's office and the Chamber of Commerce, and discussed timing and funding responsibilities before seeking council approval.
Committee members briefed the group on a proposed Hometown Heroes banner program that would place commemorative banners on town hardware during warmer months.
Staff said Assembly Danielson’s office and the Chamber of Commerce have pledged support and possible contributions. Committee members said typical local practice is for families to pay for the banner graphic while the municipality pays for the hardware and placement. Doctor Karzai, absent from a prior meeting, was invited to review the materials before the committee decides whether to present the project to the township council for endorsement.
Committee members discussed scheduling: because towns generally take banners down over winter, the chief of staff suggested launching the program in spring so banners are visible from May through November rather than launching in November and having only a few weeks of display. Staff said they will prepare a pricing and hardware outline and are willing to present to the council at the next council meeting if the committee endorses moving forward.
No formal council vote occurred at the committee meeting; members requested a final price and installation plan before referral to the full council.
