Council accepts $3,000 donation from American Legion for tank restoration at Veterans Park
Summary
The council approved acceptance of a $3,000 restricted donation from American Legion Post 28 to fund refurbishment of the military tank on long‑term loan at Veterans Park.
The Green River City Council voted May 15 to accept a $3,000 restricted donation from American Legion Post 28 to support restoration of a military tank on display at Veterans Park.
Katie Duncombe, director of parks and recreation, told the council the tank has been at Veterans Park since 1998 on long‑term loan from the U.S. Army Static Display Program and is an important symbol at the park. The American Legion’s donation was designated specifically for the tank restoration project.
Councilman Shutcher moved to approve a resolution accepting the restricted donation for the tank refurbishment and Councilman Williams seconded. The council approved the resolution by voice vote.
Why it matters: the donation is restricted for a specific park artifact restoration and will be used only for work on the military tank. The Parks and Recreation Department will implement the restoration work and account for the donation as restricted funds.
Ending: The council thanked the American Legion Post 28 for the donation and ongoing veterans’ support; staff will report on refurbishment progress as the project proceeds.
