Park Board approves Eagle Scout chess table at Ralph Johnson Park
Summary
The Park Board approved an Eagle Scout project proposed by Life Scout Wyatt Frome to install a durable chess table and concrete slab at Ralph Johnson Park, with an estimated total cost of about $3,500; staff advised the scout to complete fundraising before requesting city funds.
The Veneta Park Board voted to approve an Eagle Scout project to install a concrete chess table and slab at Ralph Johnson Park. Life Scout Wyatt Frome estimated the project would cost approximately $3,500—about $3,000 for a durable chess table and $500 for the concrete slab—and asked whether the city could help if his fundraising left a shortfall. Public Works Director Kyle Schauer said the proposal "fits well with the master plan for Johnson Park" and recommended Frome focus on fundraising first before returning with a specific funding request.
The board moved to approve the project; the motion was recorded as moved by Member Rebecca Cox and seconded by Member Betsy Ingram, and the project was carried. The transcript contains two similar motion records for this item (one noting Betsy Ingram as second and an immediate unanimous carry; another line records Member Richa as the second and a 9-0 tally). The board's intent to approve the project is clear; members asked the scout to return if he needs supplemental city funding after his fundraising efforts.
