During the City Council meeting on April 21, 2025, the Sylvania community addressed pressing safety concerns related to a nationwide trend of dangerous games among students. Council members discussed incidents where students, dressed in dark clothing and engaging in risky behavior, have faced serious accidents, including a recent shooting in Florida. The council emphasized the need for community collaboration to provide safer alternatives for students to enjoy their senior games.

In addition to safety discussions, the council announced the upcoming unveiling of the newly renamed Administration Building, honoring former Mayor Stahl. The official ceremony is scheduled for May 5, coinciding with Cinco de Mayo, and will take place from 6:30 PM to 7:30 PM. The council encouraged community members to attend the event, which will feature lighting in front of the building.

The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn, reflecting a commitment to ongoing community engagement and safety initiatives. As Sylvania prepares for the unveiling ceremony, the council remains focused on fostering a safe environment for its youth while honoring its leadership legacy.
