Summary

Council voted to increase the annual Taylor High School scholarship to $500 and awarded this year's scholarship to applicant Georgia Huff after a ranked-ballot selection; council noted application materials and tallies are public record.

Council discussed increasing the town's Taylor High School scholarship. Staff said last year's award was $300 and several council members suggested increasing support. Vice Mayor Robert Freeland moved to raise the scholarship to $500; the motion was seconded and carried unanimously.

Because multiple applicants completed the application packet, council members used a ranked ballot to select a recipient. Staff tallied the scores and the council awarded the scholarship to Georgia Huff. Town staff reminded the public that application materials and the vote tally are public records and available upon request.
