Monroe CT 250 committee approves $250 commemorative brick for high school scoreboard
Summary
The Monroe CT 250 committee voted to buy an 8x8-inch commemorative brick for $250 as a donation toward the new high school football scoreboard, using surplus bicentennial funds; the motion was moved and seconded and carried unanimously as recorded in the meeting.
The Chair moved that the Monroe CT 250 committee purchase an 8-by-8-inch commemorative brick for $250 to donate toward the new high school football scoreboard. The motion was seconded by a committee member and members voiced their support. "I make a motion that the Monroe CT 250 committee, would like it to purchase a brick ... for, $250," the Chair said when offering the motion.
Committee members discussed the symbolic value of a larger 8x8 brick for the town's 250th celebration and agreed the expense was appropriate for a permanent commemoration. A second committee member said, "I seconded the motion," and the Chair asked for a voice vote; the motion carried with ayes recorded. The item was presented as a use of surplus bicentennial funds and the Chair noted final accounting would confirm available balances before funds are disbursed.
The committee did not record a roll-call tally beyond the verbal "ayes" in the meeting transcript; the Chair said she will complete the final accounting and notify the bicentennial committee about any remaining funds and the next steps.
