The Winamac Park Board officially has a fifth member. Pat Bawcum was sworn into her two-year term during Thursday’s park board meeting.
She will represent the Pulaski County Public Library Board. Bawcum is the first member not appointed by the Winamac Town Council.
Over the past couple of months, the park board has been requesting a fifth member, in part, to make it easier for two members to meet outside of an advertised park board meeting without violating open meeting policies.
