NEW BUSINESS
American Legion Flag Pole at Old Town Hall Upgrades
Director Kroeger presented a proposal initiated by the American Legion to complete a project
at Old Town Hall flag pole, which includes raising the brick walk to meet the current grade and
replace the current bench with a raised seating wall. Renderings were also presented.
Mr. Miller made a motion to Approve the American Legion Flag Pole at Old Town Hall
Upgrades. Aid. Hammel seconded. Motion was approved unanimously.
Veterans Memorial Playground Park Hours
Manager Dunn presented a proposal to communicate via signs to the public that the summer
Playgrounds Program students will be using the Veterans Memorial Park between 9:30 a.m. to
10:30 a.m. and again from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. The hope is to inform/discourage people
from coming to the park during those posted hours to allow the over 150 children in the
Playground Program the opportunity to use the park. The signage would be up until the end of
the Playground Program (August 16, 2024).
Discussion took place.
Aid. Hammel made a motion to Approve the Veterans Memorial Playground Park Hours.
Ms. Erdmann seconded. Motion was approved unanimously.

asphalt replacement, Lee Hubka basketball court fence, Idle Isle boat ramps, Boxhorn

include Park Arthur Field 4, Lake Denoon boat launch, tables and chairs at Old Town Hall and
Moorland Park updates. 2026 projects include Veterans Park splash pad and pavilion upgrade.
The 2027 project request is for a pickle ball complex. The 2028 projects include Veterans
