Student leaders get conditional approval for Kelly Park homecoming bonfire
Summary
Student council representatives got permission to hold a homecoming bonfire at Kelly Park (Labor Day week) after apologizing for last year's cleanup issues; council required pre- and post-event cleanup and coordination with the fire department.
Miley White, who introduced herself as the incoming student-body president, asked the council for permission to use Kelly Park for the homecoming bonfire during Labor Day week. White apologized for last year’s cleanup lapses and proposed student-led cleanup with fire-department support; the council endorsed the plan contingent on students removing existing debris and coordinating safety.
Council moved and seconded a motion to permit the bonfire provided the student representatives clean up before and after the event and work with public-safety staff on timing and oversight. The motion passed by voice vote. “If they're willing to clean up, I don't have any concerns,” Director Squires said in the discussion, and the council also approved limited equipment access (skid steer) for ash removal.
