Summary

The Youth Council reported that Ryan Coburn of Tip Top Welding will donate materials and labor for a Lovelock structure; the City Manager's office will provide the concrete slab. A resolution to authorize the installation will be presented to City Council on Dec. 10; construction could take 3–4 months if approved.

Administrative contact Miss Griglin updated the Youth Council that Ryan Coburn, owner/operator of Tip Top Welding, has agreed to donate time and materials to fabricate a Lovelock structure for the city. The City Manager's office has agreed to pay for and pour the concrete slab at the proposed Cultural Park location, and the exact placement was shared with City staff.

"We have secured who the welder is. He is going to donate all of his time and material," Miss Griglin said. She added that she found there is a resolution scheduled to be presented to City Council for approval on Dec. 10. "So as long as that gets approved, then that's all I need to let Mr. Coburn know that he is free to start the project," she said. Coburn estimated the project would take about three to four months to complete depending on weather conditions.

Council members were asked to have a Youth Council representative available on Dec. 10 when the resolution is likely to be considered; members agreed to include a mention of the project in the quarterly report presentation that same evening.

Next steps: Miss Griglin will confirm the resolution language with City Council staff and notify Mr. Coburn after the Dec. 10 council meeting if approval is granted. The Youth Council plans a ribbon‑cutting and plaque to recognize donors and volunteers once construction is completed.
