Veteran's Walk Events Proposal (26-1258)
Showing all 2 actions. Filter by: , .
Request cost estimates for Veteran's Walk school field trips
Why now: On 2026-08-12 Chair Linda Lindsey said the proposal would require little funding, but on 2026-09-09 she presented estimated bus transportation costs and asked for Parks staff help, and no action was taken at either of the 2 appearances.
What to do: Ask the Parks and Recreation department for the bus transportation cost estimates Chair Lindsey presented, and compare them with her earlier claim that the program needs little funding. The public record never states who pays for buses or Parks staff time.
Act before: After the requested records are produced
Check how Veteran's Walk field trips affect downtown parks
Applies if: You live, work, or operate a business near the Hilliard Center or Sherrill Veteran's Memorial Park
Why now: Chair Lindsey proposed a walk starting at the Hilliard Center and ending at Sherrill Veteran's Memorial Park, with food trucks, public restrooms, and a Spring 2027 kick-off hoped for with T.J. Allen and George Evans Elementary.
What to do: If you live or work near the Hilliard Center or Sherrill Veteran's Memorial Park, expect school groups, possible food trucks, and Parks staff preparing public facilities if the walk proceeds. Ask the Parks and Recreation department how crowds, food truck placement, and restroom use would be handled.
Act before: After the next material record update
