A resolution was presented at the committee meeting approving a $5,000 grant from Council member Christopher Johnson’s discretionary funds to Union Park Gardens Neighborhood Association for summer and Veterans Day events in the Parkway; the resolution was described as a housekeeping item and does not require committee vote.
The Wilmington City Council committee received a resolution approving grant funding of $5,000 to the Union Park Gardens Neighborhood Association from Council member Christopher Johnson’s community discretionary funds.
President Congo presented the item on Johnson’s behalf, saying Johnson was unable to attend the meeting. Congo described the resolution as ‘‘pretty much a housekeeping item’’ and said the funds—$5,000—would support food and equipment for three neighborhood events: Summer Movie in the Parkway, Summer Band in the Parkway, and a Veterans Day celebration in the Parkway. Congo said the grant aligns with the Wilmington City Council strategic plan goal for 2022–2025 to foster community connection and engagement.
No public speakers addressed the resolution during the meeting. The presenter noted that resolutions do not require a committee vote; the item concluded the committee’s agenda for the evening.
