The Lock Haven City Council convened on April 3, 2023, to address several key agenda items, including community events and upcoming ordinances. The meeting began with a call for votes on previous motions, with all council members present voting in favor.
One significant discussion involved a request from Keystone Central School District to hold a parade on September 21, 2023. The council expressed support for the event, with plans to assist in obtaining necessary permits from PennDOT. A motion to approve the parade was made and seconded, followed by a unanimous vote in favor.
Next, the council considered a request from Craig Fleming of DHL to use Zindell Park for the "Fire on the Rocks" 10K event scheduled for March 16, 2024. The approval was contingent on ongoing construction in the area, with the council agreeing to revisit the feasibility of the event closer to the date. A motion to approve the request was made, seconded, and passed unanimously.
The meeting concluded with no additional requests from council members, leading to a transition into unfinished business, where the council began discussing Ordinance Number 2023-03. The council's proceedings reflected a collaborative effort to support community activities while ensuring proper planning and safety measures are in place.
