Committee discusses sesquicentennial planning; administration names two city designees and former mayor to advisory committee
Summary
Committee members discussed forming a sesquicentennial committee and designated two city designees; former Mayor Steven Wild was listed as a committee participant. The administration said neighboring cities have already passed similar resolutions.
During the Oct. 6 Committee of the Whole meeting of the North Canton City Council, administration briefed the committee on plans to adopt a resolution recognizing the citys upcoming sesquicentennial and to form an organizing committee.
A city speaker said the resolution would make the sesquicentennial an official city event and allow partnerships with state-level platforms. The administration said two city designees had been chosen (identified in the discussion as "Leo and I"), and invited council members and residents to join the organizing committee. The speaker said former Mayor Steven Wild has agreed to "lead the charge" on the committee.
Council did not take final action on a resolution during the committee meeting; the administration said the item would be moved forward to the council agenda for consideration.
