Summary

The board granted Jim Compton permission to use the Peace Monument at noon on May 7 for National Day of Prayer; the event will include presentations of colors, the national anthem and a children's choir and was approved by unanimous motion.

Adams County commissioners approved a request from Jim Compton to use the Peace Monument at noon on May 7 for the National Day of Prayer. Compton told the board the event will include presentation of colors by the American Legion, a national anthem performance and a children's choir; the Decatur ministerial association coordinated the request.

Commissioners quickly moved and seconded approval, noting the event historically draws a crowd and has an alternative indoor venue (a Baptist church) in case of rain. The motion passed without objection.

Next steps: Compton and the ministerial group will proceed with event arrangements; commissioners noted the county will coordinate logistics as needed.
