Summary

Asher Nichols received council approval to proceed with an Eagle Scout project to build a small 10'x10' (approx.) 'mousehole' structure at Smoke Meier Park using a steel frame and concrete; fundraising and donated bricks were part of the plan.

Asher Nichols presented an Eagle Scout leadership project to construct a small 'mousehole' structure at Smoke Meier Park. Nichols described proposed dimensions (roughly 10 by 10 feet with a 5-foot width variant), a steel framework covered in 3-inch concrete, and fundraising plans including personalized bricks and dinners; the Doe family will donate bricks from the old Melbourne school.

Councilmember Carrie White moved to approve the project and to allow Nichols to distribute a flyer to residents; Beth Smith seconded the motion and the council voted all ayes. Nichols was instructed to get the flyer to Clerk Mary Pothast for labeling and mailing.

The approval allows project fundraising and site work to proceed under city direction; specific construction permits or further conditions were not recorded in the minutes.
