In a recent government meeting, the council approved resolution 2024-9, which will result in the closure of railroad crossings at Highway 160 in both Faraday and Franklin. This decision aims to enhance safety and streamline traffic flow in the area.

Additionally, the council discussed a contract with the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program for the Kids Connection initiative. The contract, valued at $68,400 for one year, has been a significant source of funding for the program over the past 15 years. Nica, a representative from the Department of Social Services, highlighted the importance of this funding, noting that TANF support has been crucial for the program's operations.

However, concerns were raised regarding the potential reallocation of TANF funding in the future, which could impact the financial stability of the Kids Connection program. Currently, the funding is structured to reimburse the program $6 per child per day, based on monthly reports detailing the number of children served. The council remains optimistic about the continuation of this funding for the upcoming year, despite the uncertainties surrounding TANF allocations.
