The Hiram City Council held a work session on March 25, 2025, addressing several key topics, including event planning, staffing changes, and budget preparations.
One significant discussion centered around the upcoming "Taste of Hiram" event, scheduled for March 29, 2025, at Grace Mill Park. The council unanimously approved the Hiram Rosenwald School Museum's request to utilize the park for this community gathering.
The meeting also included a change in the open records officer position. Christy Langston, previously the deputy city clerk, has transitioned to the police department. She will now serve as the point of contact for open records requests, ensuring continuity in handling public records.
Another major topic was the scheduling of the annual budget work session. The council debated potential dates, ultimately considering May 24, 2025, for the meeting. This date coincides with Memorial Day weekend, prompting discussions about the feasibility of holding the session on a Saturday morning. The council expressed concerns about conflicting schedules and the need for adequate time to prepare for the budget discussions. After deliberation, the council agreed to hold the budget work session on May 24 at 9 AM.
The meeting concluded with a presentation on Hiram's water resources, highlighting the importance of managing local water supplies effectively. The council's decisions during this session reflect ongoing efforts to engage the community and ensure efficient city operations.
