Council announces lighting-contest winners, seeks volunteers and explores parks grant match
Summary
Council announced holiday lighting-contest winners, reported one volunteer for the activities committee and encouraged recruitment to reach a four-person quorum, and reviewed two 50%-match Parks & Recreation grant opportunities for small projects such as a proposed disc-golf course.
The presiding speaker announced winners of the town—s holiday lighting contest: Higgins (26 points) took first place, Merkley (17) second, and Rathbone (10) third; several honorable mentions were named and point totals were read aloud.
In new business, Unidentified Speaker 2 reported one volunteer had signed up for the activities committee and asked whether the volunteer could recruit friends; the committee needs at least four members. The speaker said they had messaged the volunteer and expect follow-up.
The meeting also covered potential Parks & Recreation grants: the presiding speaker said the town received notice of two separate matching grants that would fund up to 50% of smaller projects. The speaker suggested projects that had been discussed previously, including a potential disc-golf (Frisbee golf) setup, and said the grants would be forwarded to Anne for review. The town intends to apply and use budgeted local match funds if appropriate.
No formal votes were recorded on these items during the meeting; actions were described as follow-up tasks and staff or volunteers were assigned to pursue them.
