Hometown Heroes banner program: committee hears there are 17 applications
Summary
Committee member Ken Wood updated the committee that the Hometown Heroes banner program has 17 applications and expects more; Jennifer Castro will meet Denise Formolo to verify applicant information. A resident later urged placing banners on Carpenter Avenue for greater visibility.
Ken Wood told the Citizens Advisory/Parks Decorations Committee that the Hometown Heroes banner program currently has 17 applications and that the committee expects additional submissions. Wood said Jennifer Castro will meet with Denise Formolo to verify the information on applications and next steps for installation.
During public comment, Kasonda Barker said she had applied for a banner for her grandfather but preferred banners be placed along Carpenter Avenue rather than in the park because she believed park placement would limit visibility; both Ken Wood and Michael Stelmaszek addressed her concern. The committee did not take a formal vote on banner placement at this meeting but will continue to coordinate verification and placement planning.
Why it matters: The banner program is a visible, recurring civic recognition program that requires placement decisions (street vs. park) and verification of honorees. Next steps include application verification and placement coordination.
