Oak Hill Parks & Rec board asks for a modest budget line to start events
Summary
Roger Page of the Oak Hill Parks and Recreation advisory board asked commissioners to consider a small line item to seed community events — he described "a couple thousand dollars" for a barbecue festival; the transcript includes an inconsistent higher figure ('around $510,000') that appears to be a transcription error and is noted as such.
Roger Page, speaking for the Oak Hill Parks and Recreation advisory board, urged commissioners to consider a small line item in future budgets to support events such as a barbecue festival. "Maybe to give us a little line item for some some money to do things with... a couple thousand dollars to fund that thing to get it started," Page said, adding that sponsorships would help as events grow.
The transcript also contains an inconsistent quoted number; Page says he does not need a large allocation but later the recording appears to capture "around $510,000," which conflicts with his repeated characterization of "a couple thousand dollars." The article reports both representations and flags the larger figure as likely a transcription or verbalization error that needs clarification from the speaker or staff.
