Ratification of the Philip S. Miller Legacy Project Committee
Following Council’s work session last fall, Town Council directed staff to form an ad hoc committee to analyze, discuss and make a recommendation regarding a project for the community paid for using the Philip S. Miller Trust Fund monies. We’ve now formed that team, and we’re coming to you for approval and to receive a nomination from among Councilmembers for the final member to serve on this important committee. We anticipate that we will meet for no more than six months, with the intention of bringing a recommendation back to Town Council by end of summer/early fall.
Notification and Outreach Efforts
Knowing that youth, and opportunities for them, were of great importance to the Millers, you’ll see the committee is partly comprised of those who work with youth, or are current students. We went to both local high schools and asked each to nominate a committee member. Those students will solicit feedback from their peers at their respective schools. We also asked for interested volunteers from among our various boards, commissions and lists of active citizens, and we received a tremendous response. So, instead of selecting one citizen at-large to serve on the committee, we randomly selected two. In addition, the Committee consists of:
- Alex Dinkel, Teen Court (CVHS)
- Gail Malecki, CVHS
- Hayden Tornabene, DCHS
- Rebecca Erickson, Parks and Rec Commission
- Ernie Fazekas, community member at-large
- Chris Pace, community member at-large
- Dru Campbell, Douglas County
- Sheila Kerber, Douglas County Libraries
- Kim Mutchler, Town staff
- Town Councilmember
