Resident proposes Wreaths Across America event and gold‑star area at veterans memorial
Summary
Resident Dale Hollingshead urged the council to support placing wreaths at the veterans memorial for the national Wreaths Across America day and suggested a dedicated gold‑star area on the Honor Wall; council voiced support and asked staff to note the suggestion for next year or coordinate short‑term events around the parade.
Dale Hollingshead addressed the Beaver City Council on Nov. 25 to propose a community wreath placement at the veterans memorial connected to the national Wreaths Across America observance and to suggest dedicating an Honor Wall area to gold‑star parents.
Hollingshead said he originally sought to place wreaths at the memorial during the parade weekend but acknowledged short notice for this year; he asked whether the council would have any issues with a short twilight ceremony and requested staff guidance on permissions. He also recommended a marked area recognizing gold‑star parents as part of the memorial.
Council members expressed support for the idea, noted scheduling constraints with the upcoming parade and city events, and asked staff to record the request for planning next year. The council encouraged coordination with the Honor Guard and asked staff to advise on logistics and any required permissions.
