Fountain City committee seeks student volunteers and orders new Adopt‑A‑Planter signs
Summary
The Park‑Rec/Cemetery Committee approved ordering five replacement Adopt‑A‑Planter signs and is following up with the C‑FC School District about student volunteers to maintain planters in 2026; invoice for five signs totaled $261.25.
The Fountain City Park‑Rec/Cemetery Committee on Nov. 13 approved purchasing replacement Adopt‑A‑Planter signs and said it will pursue student volunteer help from the C‑FC School District for the 2026 planting season. Christine Williamson said she will obtain and process the sign order after receiving mayoral approval because the replacement cost is minimal; an invoice documents payment for five signs totaling $261.25.
Committee member Stephen Qualy reported he has contacted Superintendent Steve Stoppelmoor to determine whether district students would assist with planter maintenance. The committee also discussed the option of hiring professional landscaping services if student participation or volunteer capacity proves insufficient.
The committee assigned follow‑up tasks to Stephen and Christine to confirm student interest and to gather pricing for professional landscaping. The group said it expects to complete these steps before the 2026 planting season and to present a sample welcome packet for new residents at a future meeting.
The committee approved the Sept. 19, 2025 minutes earlier in the meeting by motion of Qualy, seconded by Scott Feraro.
