At the regular monthly meeting of the Brandenburg City Council Monday (6/13) night, Moore presented Mayor Ronnie Joyner and the council members with a check in the amount of $5,998.84. In addition to the check, Moore also presented the city with brand new basketball goals donated by Kentucky One Health to be installed in the park. Council member Patsy Lusk made a motion for the city to place a plaque at the park as a first step of recognizing Moore for his efforts on the donation and to honor Devin with the improvements at Nickel Park.
