Summary
Council voted to disburse remaining carryover funds, allocating $300,000 for a Camp Washington skate park and $994,008 for Department of Public Services, fire and police fleet needs after extended debate over process and priorities.
Cincinnati City Council on Wednesday adopted a motion to disburse remaining carryover capital funds that directs $300,000 to a new Camp Washington skate park and $994,008 for city fleet needs covering Department of Public Services, fire and police vehicles.
Budget Chair Council member Krammerding, the motion’s lead sponsor, called the allocation “the first step in the right direction” for an aging city fleet after the city’s recent snow emergency exposed equipment shortfalls. He said the money “is not the fix, but it’s more than symbolic.”
