Milton committee to pick Don Turner Jr. Award winner at July meeting; will promote nominations in July 4 parade
Summary
The Don Turner Jr. Award Committee reviewed nominations June 10, will distribute the nomination list about a week before its July 8 meeting and expects to select a winner then; it confirmed plans to promote nominations in Milton's July 4 parade and announced an executive session on the July agenda.
Kary Towne, clerk of the Don Turner Jr. Award Committee, called the June 10 meeting to order at 6:34 p.m. and told members the committee has received several nominations for the Don Turner Jr. Award and is tracking three additional nominations in progress.
The committee approved the minutes of its May 13 meeting after a motion by Kristen Bartlett and a second from Lina Balcom; the motion passed unanimously. Towne said she will distribute the full list of nominations to committee members about one week before the next meeting, scheduled for July 8, when the committee expects to select a winner. Towne and members said the winner will be publicly announced at National Night Out in August.
The committee confirmed plans to participate in Milton's July 4 parade. Lina Balcom is coordinating giveaways and donations, and members will decorate a car to celebrate the 2025 recipient and encourage residents to submit nominations for 2027. Members agreed to have all supplies and decorations in place by July 3.
For new business, the committee added an executive session for award selection to the July agenda, indicating the committee expects closed deliberations as part of the selection process. The meeting ended at 6:59 p.m. after a motion to adjourn by Ryan Bushey, seconded by Kristen Bartlett, which passed unanimously. Meeting documents and a video recording are available through the town's links provided in the minutes.
