Police alumni promote fundraiser; resident urges creation of art council and museum
Summary
Speakers during citizen input encouraged attendance at a RoughRiders fundraiser benefiting the Colony Citizens Police Alumni Association and proposed forming a volunteer art council as an initial step toward a city museum.
Several residents used the public comment period to promote community events and civic projects.
Representatives of The Colony Citizens Police Alumni Association said they are selling $15 tickets for a RoughRiders game fundraiser that will return $5 per ticket to the alumni association; organizers asked supporters to buy tickets through the event QR code or the listed website so the association receives its donation share and so attendees can sit together in a blocked area. The group said funds will support police department donation activities and post‑COVID fundraising efforts.
A resident identified as Robert Gauvin asked the council to consider reestablishing an arts council and ultimately developing a city museum and conservatory. He said he can recruit national sponsors and volunteers, and he asked staff and council to explore formation of a volunteer art council; council members asked staff to follow up and suggested the idea could be considered for a future budget retreat or commission appointment process.
Councilmembers thanked the speakers and said staff would follow up with contact information where appropriate.
