Summary

The Exeter City Council authorized acceptance of a $50,000 donation from McWane Plant & Industrial and directed staff to design park improvements per the Exeter Parks Master Plan, allow a temporary project sign during construction, and install a plaque; vote was 5-0.

The council authorized City Administrator Jason Ridenour to accept a $50,000 donation from McWane Plant & Industrial and to work with the City Engineer to design improvements to Rose Garden Park consistent with the Exeter Parks Master Plan.

Ridenour recommended acceptance of the donation and approval of a temporary project sign during construction and a plaque to be placed in the park as part of the project. The mayor opened the item for public comment; no comments were presented. The council approved the authorization by a 5-0 vote.
