Oakwood receives drug-prevention grant; hires landscape architect for park improvements
Summary
The city announced a $4,960 drug-use prevention grant to cover DARE materials and that it signed an agreement with Behr Becker Engineers for landscape architecture services at Orchardley and Shaffer parks.
Oakwood — The Oakwood City Manager reported Sept. 15 that the city received $4,960 in funding through the 2025-2026 Drug Use Prevention Grant Program to cover DARE workbooks and pamphlets used by the public safety department.
In the same report, the manager said the city signed an agreement with Behr Becker Engineers to provide professional landscape architecture services for Orchardley and Shaffer parks. The services will evaluate replacement options for amenities nearing the end of their lifecycle, review park organization, and develop cost estimates to guide potential improvements.
The city manager said the grant funding will offset costs that otherwise would come from the city's budget; the meeting transcript did not provide further detail about programmatic requirements, grant duration, or the contract value for Behr Becker Engineers. Council did not take a separate vote to accept the grant during the meeting; the manager reported the award as part of his administrative report.
