Councilors discussed plans for the Hometown Heroes veterans banners program, recreation events and garden volunteer activities during the April 17 meeting. Councilors said the banner program will use 18-by-36-inch full-color banners at a cost of $160 each and that the program is intended to be revenue neutral. Staff said purchasers can submit checks and photos; councilors requested the design and placement plan be finalized before accepting additional payments.

Councilor Nicole Beatty and others discussed Flag Day activities scheduled for mid-June, including a parade on Bailey Road followed by a ceremony and family-oriented activities. The Recreation Department announced the Yeadon Community Love Garden spring cleaning and planting on Saturday, May 8 from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m.; participants were asked to bring gloves and seeds as needed.

Council members stressed that the borough should post full specifications and the final banner design on the borough website before widely accepting payments. Staff agreed to finalize designs and return with specifics for posting. No formal vote was taken on the banner program at the meeting.
