Summary

Mayor Larry Larson read a proclamation recognizing April 11 and April 2025 as Purple Up for Military Kids; the council also recognized and badged Lieutenant Colonel Gregory Jones as assistant chief in a brief ceremony.

At the start of the April 11 meeting, Mayor Larry Larson read an executive proclamation designating April 11, 2025 and April 2025 as Purple Up for Military Kids Day and Month in Box Elder, encouraging citizens to wear purple to support military children and their families.

Later the council recognized internal promotions in the Box Elder Police Department. Police Chief Bob Connell introduced Lieutenant Colonel Gregory Jones, recounted Jones’s background — including service in the U.S. Marine Corps and as a U.S. Border Patrol agent — and asked Elizabeth Brosteck to badge him. Connell said Jones brings experience from both military and federal law-enforcement service back to the local department.

The council recessed that portion of the meeting after the recognitions and moved on to the regular agenda.
