Summary

The finance committee unanimously approved forwarding appropriations for two VFW donations—$3,000 to the police department and $1,750 to the fire department—praising the post’s community support.

The Finance Committee unanimously voted to forward two donation appropriations from local veterans’ organizations. A representative asked the committee to appropriate a $3,000 check from VFW Post 1060 to the police law-enforcement supply fund and a separate $1,750 donation to the fire department’s operating budget; both items were approved 5–0 to go to full council.

"The local post of the VFW, as well as other organizations in town, they supply donations to various organizations," the Chair said while recognizing the groups’ community contributions. The motions were recorded as "motion by Barker, second by Chute," and both will appear on the council agenda for final appropriation.
