Council approves Kiwanis memorial plaque at Swensson Park and donor plaque for expanded dog park
Summary
The council approved two memorial plaques: an 8x10 cast‑bronze plaque at Swensson Park funded by the Kiwanis Club honoring its 75th anniversary and Kiwanis Treasurer Craig Liljegren, and a 6x4 laser‑etched cast‑aluminum plaque for the expanded dog park in memory of Marie Bensman Bumgarner Campbell.
Councilmember Larry Lysell moved to approve the proposed commemorative plaque for the Swensson Park archway, funded by the Kiwanis Club in recognition of its 75th anniversary and honoring a past club president. The proposed cast‑bronze plaque is recommended at 8x10 inches with the inscription: "In commemoration of the 75th Anniversary of the Lindsborg Kiwanis Club in 2023. Greenery in memory of Kiwanis Treasurer Craig Liljegren." Council President Rebecca Van Der Wege seconded; the motion passed 8–0 by roll call vote.
Councilmember Tyler Johnson moved to approve the donor‑funded plaque for the expanded dog park; Councilmember Ericka Lysell seconded and the motion passed 8–0. The proposed laser‑etched cast‑aluminum plaque is recommended at 6x4 inches with the inscription: "In cherished memory of Marie Bensman Bumgarner Campbell Love me, love my dog." Minutes note the dog park expansion and donor funding but do not record additional discussion.
