Council reviews 'America 2 50' plans and $25K–$30K preliminary budget for community events
Summary
The Community Engagement Committee presented plans for America 2 50 celebrations from Memorial Day through July 4 including Hometown Heroes displays, downtown decorations, a Paint Prosper Proud event, and an estimated $25,000–$30,000 preliminary budget; council asked staff to identify funding.
The Community Engagement Committee outlined a multi-week set of events for the town's 'America 2 50' commemoration, including a Hometown Heroes program, downtown banners, giveaway items, a Memorial Day ceremony and a proposed 'Paint Prosper Proud' window-painting activity for downtown businesses. Robin Battle said the committee endorsed using an America 2 50 logo across marketing materials and is soliciting public nominations for hometown heroes.
Battle presented a preliminary budget estimate of $25,000 to $30,000 and asked for council feedback about funding sources. "The committee did a lot of great work...I think that we can do all of these things for around 25 to $30,000," Battle said. Council members expressed support and directed staff to identify funding options.
