Wreaths Across America representative asks North Bend to fund wreaths; council moves to pay $340
Summary
Darlene West from Wreaths Across America described placing about 1,400 wreaths at Maple Grove and asked for village support; a motion to pay $340 (to cover roughly 40 wreaths under a promotional offer) was made and seconded and discussion followed about logistics and past participation.
Darlene West, representing the wreath-placement effort often affiliated with Wreaths Across America, told council the group placed approximately 1,400 wreaths at Maple Grove and has placed over 10,000 wreaths in seven years of activity. She asked the village to consider a purchase under a time-limited promotional offer ($17 per wreath plus one free wreath) to secure wreath placements next season.
A council member moved to pay $340 to obtain approximately 40 wreaths under the program and another council member seconded the motion; council discussed past participation and communication about the event. One councilmember said they had not received all email notices this year; others confirmed prior village support for the activity. The motion was seconded and proceeded to discussion; the transcript records the motion and second, and subsequent discussion of logistics and prior participation.
The transcript records the motion and second; however, the formal vote result immediately following the motion is not captured with a roll-call tally in the transcript excerpt. The village clerk and staff will handle the purchase if council chooses to finalize funding.
