Committee approves Eagle Scout’s memorial and suicide-prevention bench project
Summary
The Nancy Anderson Park/Children’s Memorial Gardens committee approved an Eagle Scout candidate’s plan to install two benches—one memorial and one promoting suicide prevention—and agreed to fund concrete footings in next year’s budget. A site-selection meeting with the scout is set for August.
Levi Swanson, an Eagle Scout candidate, presented a proposal to the Nancy Anderson Park/Children’s Memorial Gardens committee to install two benches in the garden, one engraved in memory of his cousin and the other engraved with suicide-prevention information. Levi told the committee he already has funds to buy the benches and pay for engravings and asked the committee to pay to pour concrete footings for the installations.
Committee member Jeremy VanWey moved to approve Levi’s proposal and to provide the concrete funding. The motion passed with all members in favor; individual roll-call votes were not recorded in the minutes. The committee decided the concrete expense will be included in next year’s budget. The group also scheduled a meeting at the park with Levi in August to choose exact locations for the benches.
The decision formalizes the committee’s support for a memorial and an outreach-themed bench in the garden; the committee did not record dollar amounts for the concrete in the minutes. No additional formal conditions or amendments to the motion were noted in the record. The committee adjourned at 6:25 p.m.
