Background:
At the September 15, 2020 City Council meeting, Mr. Mike Inman, Veteran Chairman for the Broken Arrow Elks Lodge 2673, presented an idea to council for an annual Veterans Day Parade in Broken Arrow. The parade is intended to be a community event to honor our veterans that have served or are serving in our military. The event will take place annually on the first Saturday in November before Veterans Day. The parade will be sponsored by Broken Arrow Elks Lodge 2673 and plans to involve other Veterans programs such as the VFW, DAV, BA ROTC, Reserves, Military History Museum, Blue Star Mothers, and Soldiers Wish. If supported by City Council, the Veterans Parade will take place this year on November 7, 2020. If the parade is supported by City Council, city staff is requesting all fees associated with the 2020 Veterans Day Parade be waived.
