Title
Potential New Ideas for the 2026 Marco-in-Bloom Contest (V. Myers)
Body
BACKGROUND:
At the Committee’s Sept. 3, 2025 meeting, Committee Member Victoria Myers noted the Committee's allocation from its 2025 discretionary budget (around $850) to fund the printing of yard signs for last year's Marco In Bloom Contest winners, and she proposed that the Committee consider modifications that may be appropriate under a "low" or "no" budget environment for Fiscal Year 2026.
The Committee discussed the impact of the Contest as it had been communicated and administered in recent years.
Chair Needles requested that Member Myers consider the various ideas and alternatives offered by the members of the Committee during the discussion, and he asked that she draft a proposal for the Committee's review at its October 1, 2025 meeting.
FUNDING SOURCE / FISCAL IMPACT: N / A
RECOMMENDATION: Receive and discuss Member Myers’ proposals; define an Action Plan to implement a revised Marco In Bloom Contest for the 2026 calendar year.
POTENTIAL MOTION: None expected.
