Noon Rotary Club donates $5,000 for ADA-compliant benches at Woodland Park shelter
Summary
The council accepted a $5,000 donation from the Noon Rotary Club to purchase ADA-compliant benches for the Rotary Shelter in Woodland Park; club members and council thanked volunteers and described expected durability benefits.
The City of Columbia City Council accepted a $5,000 donation from the Noon Rotary Club on June 10 to help fund ADA-compliant benches at the Rotary Shelter in Woodland Park.
Gerald Vick, a longtime Rotary member, told the council the club celebrated its centennial last year and has a history of giving to city projects. "We've been around around we had our hundred year anniversary last year," Vick said, adding the donation would help provide new picnic tables and ADA compliance at the shelter.
City officials said the new benches and related amenities will be weather-resistant and durable; one council member described them as difficult to graffiti and easy to maintain with power washing. The donation was accepted by resolution number 25-42 and a small presentation was held after the vote.
Council members and Rotary speakers emphasized the club’s local service history and said the funding will be used to upgrade shelter furnishings and matching trash receptacles. No questions or objections were recorded during the council’s approval.
