Summary

Jackson Weaver, an Eagle Scout candidate, pitched repurposing a retired mailbox as a flag‑drop and asked to place it at the DPW; Council President Boyce moved to sponsor the project and the council approved the sponsorship.

Jackson Weaver, who identified himself as a Boy Scout with Troop 132, asked the council for permission to place a repurposed mailbox as a flag‑drop at the Old Tappan Department of Public Works. "I'm Jackson Weaver, and I'm a live scout... I'm currently working on my Eagle Scout project," he told the council and gave a target date of 06/14/2025 for the box to be ready to collect flags.

Council members asked for placement details and a durable plaque, and Council President Boyce moved to sponsor the project. The mayor called for a second and the council approved the sponsorship by voice vote. Council members suggested coordinating a retirement ceremony with the veterans committee and asked Scout leaders to supply required paperwork and staff signatures.

The sponsorship requires no additional council funding; council members encouraged the scout to coordinate with the DPW on exact siting and to work with the veterans committee on a formal flag‑retirement ceremony.
