Life scout wins council backing for Purple Heart monument at Oaks Park
Summary
A life scout seeking Eagle Scout approval to build a Purple Heart monument at Oaks Park received council support after presenting cost estimates, a spring timeline and coordination plans with the environmental commission and DPW.
Life scout Timolik presented plans for an Eagle Scout project to install a red‑granite Purple Heart monument in Oaks Park and asked the council for permission to proceed. He said the monument vendor discounted the stone from about $2,000 to roughly $800 and estimated total costs around $1,000; he reported $650 raised so far and outlined a timeline to start in spring.
Council members discussed siting near an existing memorial wall, landscaping and construction logistics and urged the scout to work with the environmental commission and DPW. Council member (speaker 4) moved to provide guidance and support for the project, and the motion was seconded and approved by roll call. "I think that's great — you put a lot of thought into it," the council member said during the discussion.
