CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW: N/A
SUMMARY STATEMENT:
For over a year, the City of Longview’s “Extra Mile” citizen, Bill Kasch, has been working on another project to honor the history of our city. His most recent undertaking is a Veterans’ Monument to honor Longview citizens that have given the greatest sacrifice for our nation. This request is for the city council to approve the appropriation of $2,500 to be taken from the general fund ending fund balance, to help contribute to the Veterans’ Monument project that Mr. Kasch is spearheading. Previous requests for financial assistance for this project have not been approved. Those requests were made while this project was still in the early stages of development. Mr. Kasch is now at the final stage with a product near completion.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to approve the appropriation of $2,500, to be taken from the general fund ending fund balance, to help contribute to the Veterans’ Memorial Monument project that Bill Kasch is spearheading.
