County to accept donated memorial bench near Black Eagle Park at no cost
Summary
Commissioners were told a local fabricator will donate a custom memorial bench and concrete pad to honor schoolteacher Josie McClain; the bench will be placed on county property adjacent to Black Eagle Park and the county contract records no cost to taxpayers.
County staff described a no-cost contract (26-111) with Spadlock Industries LLC to fabricate and install a custom memorial bench and concrete pad near Black Eagle Park to honor Josie McClain.
A presenter said the fabricator "is donate his time and all the resources" and that the bench would be located on county property just east of Black Eagle Park, not inside the park itself.
