Resident asks council to consider memorial plaque honoring longtime volunteer Ron Roy

During public comment on July 24 a Wenatchee resident representing Rancho Valley Fire Department asked the council to consider permitting a plaque honoring Ron Roy — a volunteer the speaker said had provided roughly 50 years of volunteer service and coordinated conferences at the Wenatchee Convention Center — to be displayed in the convention center.

The speaker said the family requested a public display of a badge-plaque assembled to represent each rank and position Ron Roy served over five decades. The resident said he had corresponded with a city staff member (Alyssa) who forwarded the request to the mayor’s office and asked council consideration of the plaque’s placement.

Council took no formal action on the request during the meeting; the speaker indicated other display locations exist if the convention center is not available.
