Board gives consensus to develop David Hancock memorial field sign for November dedication
Summary
The board gave staff consensus to develop content and order a sign renaming the parish's track/field in honor of Patrolman David Hancock, aiming for a November dedication to mark the 50th anniversary of his death.
Park & Recreation requested the board's approval to replace the track/field sign and rename it the David Hancock Memorial Field in honor of Patrolman David Hancock. Manager Carolyn McCreery said staff needs board consensus to move quickly to produce sign content and get it to the sign company in time for a proposed November dedication. The board gave staff consensus to proceed; McCreery, Public Works Director Greg Reif and Chief Peoples will develop content and return it to the board for review before ordering the sign.
McCreery noted the commemoration marks the 50th anniversary of Patrolman Hancock’s death and described the action as both historical and appropriate for the community. No formal vote was required; staff will develop the content and handle vendor coordination.
