Recreation committee plans Silver Jubilee events downtown; council to consider banner funding and matching grant requirements
Summary
Recreation reported plans to move some Silver Jubilee activities downtown, recommended shuttle or wagon transport for attendees, and requested a future agenda item for $3,000 to replace banner brackets and purchase veteran banners; staff noted a matching advertising grant with specific logo and flyer approval requirements.
Recreation committee members asked council to consider moving parts of the Silver Jubilee back downtown and discussed logistics including shuttle service or a wagon/hayride as an attraction. Committee members suggested shuttles running every 30 minutes or seeking assistance from local vendors and the school district for transport; one councilor urged the shuttle be provided free where possible.
The committee also sought permission to spend approximately $3,000 from the recreation account to replace light-pole banner brackets and purchase new veteran banners; the mayor said line-item approval will be needed and asked the item be placed on a future agenda. Staff noted the city received a matching advertising grant that requires prior approval and incorporation of specified logos on promotional materials.
