Community Events: Holiday Stroll and Walk of Honor
The council approved city support for two December 5 Old Town events with a new cost-recovery policy: the nonprofits reimburse material costs while the city donates staff time. Council members also pressed the Walk of Honor committee to make its honoree selection process more transparent.
Christmas Morning Event Goes Community-Led
The century-old Christmas Morning tradition will now be run by a community committee, with the city providing $13,000 in seed money and $3,000 for city costs. Candy bags return, golf carts replace volunteer runners, and the committee must report back under the city's new partnership rules.
Veterans Hall Operations and VFW Agreement
The city spends about $11,000 a year cleaning Veterans Hall while the VFW pays nothing. Staff is drafting an agreement requiring the post to help maintain the building it uses, and moving a preschool program into the hall.
