Council votes to match prior year donation to BHS Project Graduation
Summary
On a unanimous vote, the Hines Common Council agreed to match last year's City donation to the Burns High School Project Graduation after parents requested financial support for prizes and essentials for graduates.
Parents Taylor Trent and Katie Smith requested a City donation to support the Burns High School senior all‑night Project Graduation, describing the event as "a safe, supervised, and positive way to celebrate" and asking for financial contributions to provide prizes, gift cards and essentials for graduates. Councilor Dean Brizendine first moved to donate $500; Councilor Hilda Allison asked that the City instead match the amount given last year. Brizendine moved to match last year's donation, Allison seconded, and the Council voted unanimously to match the prior year's donation (the prior year amount was not specified during the meeting).
Councilors expressed support for the event as a community effort run by parents and volunteers. Staff will note the matched donation in accounts and coordinate fulfillment with the Project Graduation organizers.
