Councilman Kevin Totten honors parks volunteers at April advisory board meeting
Summary
Councilman Kevin Totten recognized volunteers who attended a recent boards-and-commissions appreciation event and invited those not present to be photographed for the city’s records; an attendee flagged a photo-label typo in the lobby.
Councilman Kevin Totten recognized several community volunteers at the Parks and Recreation Advisory Board meeting on April 20, 2026, thanking them for their service and inviting those who missed the appreciation event to come forward for photographs. "We had a volunteer appreciation for boards and commissions, and we still like to recognize anyone that didn't show up," Totten said during the presentation.
Totten called volunteers by name — including Sherry Sachs, Madeline Madrid, Susan Jones, Allison and Alistar Hunt — and coordinated brief photos in the lobby. An attendee noted that a caption beneath a group photo in the lobby listed the wrong acronym, reading "PNZ" rather than "Parks and Rec." Totten and others acknowledged the typo and continued the recognition segment. The board did not take formal action on the recognitions; the item was presented as a ceremonial acknowledgement and photo opportunity.
