Struthers announces two recent grants, including bike-helmet distribution
Summary
Mayor Miller told the Struthers City Council caucus the city recently secured two grants: a partial award supporting a chloride-reduction project and a grant for 80 bike helmets to distribute with local schools and safety departments.
Mayor Miller said Struthers received two grants this week, including a partial award to support a chloride-reduction project and a separate grant to provide 80 bike helmets for distribution at the elementary school.
The mayor opened the Caucus by announcing, “we just received 2 more grants,” and said one was for a chloride reduction effort that covered supplies but not the primary piece of equipment. He said, “we got just the supplies for it. So we didn't get the main thing, but we got portion of the grant.”
Mayor Miller also reported a second grant that will provide 80 bike helmets for distribution with the city police and fire departments. “It's called he put a lid on a campaign,” he said, using the words from his report. He said the helmets would be distributed at the elementary school in coordination with the superintendent and principals, though distribution details are “not specified.”
The announcements were delivered during the council’s caucus meeting; no formal vote or ordinance accompanied the grant notices. Mayor Miller acknowledged an earlier, similar helmet grant awarded about four years ago and said the city will repeat that program this year.
The mayor thanked KO Consulting and “Matthew” for help securing other grants discussed later in the meeting. No application or contract documents were presented in the caucus; staff will provide implementation details to council as they are finalized.
Ending: The council did not take formal action on these grants during the caucus; Mayor Miller said further information on implementation and distribution logistics will be coordinated with school administrators and returned to council when available.
