BOCC approves memorial wall display naming to honor longtime aide Richard Reedy
Summary
The board approved naming a planned county center lobby wall display for the Elwurst G. Simmons Good Government Award and including a plaque commemorating Richard Reedy, a longtime aide to BOCC Chair Ken Hagan who died Nov. 11, 2025.
The Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners approved naming a planned wall display in the county center lobby honoring recipients of the Elwurst G. Simmons Good Government Award and including a plaque commemorating Richard Reedy, Demores said in the Feb. 18 recap.
Demores said Reedy, who died Nov. 11, 2025, was a longtime aide to BOCC Chair Ken Hagan and that the Good Government Award display was his vision. The transcript characterizes Reedy as 'widely respected both within government and throughout the community.'
The board’s action is to name the display; the transcript does not describe related expenditures, installation schedule or text of the plaque. County staff or the BOCC office can provide further details about timing and plaque text.
