Kingsford approves purchase of 30 patriotic banners for 250th anniversary
Summary
The council approved buying thirty 30" by 60" patriotic banners (including brackets) recommended by the Citizens Advisory Committee; the purchase will require a budget amendment because only $4,680 remained in the 'Community Decorations' budget.
The Citizens Advisory Committee recommended the city purchase thirty 30" by 60" patriotic banners (including brackets) for the country’s 250th anniversary, noting the banners match the size used in the Hometown Heroes Program. Council approved the purchase from Display Sales, but members were told the 'Community Decorations' budget had only $4,680 remaining and a budget amendment would be necessary to cover purchase and installation costs.
Councilmember Freeman moved to approve the purchase and Councilmember Olson seconded; the motion carried unanimously. The committee noted that using a bucket truck for installation reduces costs and that the banners could be used with Hometown Heroes displays or separately along walking paths for visibility.
