Local nonprofit donates $10,000 to Warrenton parks; mobile rural clinic scheduled for March 28

A representative for TCOMAN, speaking on behalf of the Decolon Foundation, presented a $10,000 donation to Warrenton City earmarked for grounds and maintenance development to support youth sports and community recreation.

During the same public-comment period and staff presentations, the board heard from a community-outreach representative for Rural Careers Clinic, which described a mobile, no-cost medical and dental clinic scheduled for March 28 at Holy Rosary in the Morrison area. The clinic said it will serve residents with household incomes at or below 200% of the federal poverty level (about $65,000 for a family of four), provide primary-care visits, dental care, physical therapy, behavioral-health services, a medication dispensary and translation services including Spanish-language support.

Parks staff reported 2025 accomplishments earlier in the meeting: installation of four electronic scoreboards (paid and maintained under an advertisement program), parking-lot lighting, playground surfacing and fencing at Morgan Park, resurfacing a tennis court, expanded parking (about 85 new spaces) at the athletic complex, removal of 63 dead trees and planting 44 memorial trees. Parks staff also reported TSM enrollment and tournament numbers (1,660 youth enrolled; 27 tournaments) and said the sports complex recorded 167,000 visitors in the period reported.

Councilors thanked the donor and parks staff and confirmed that scoreboard advertising is a private program that covered scoreboard costs; the meeting did not include any binding commitments or new city spending decisions tied to the donation or clinics.
