Capital Improvements Committee approves $35,000 for ham-operator facility, advances NatureWorks grant for Newark Station court
Summary
The Capital Improvements Committee voted to forward an appropriation for $35,000 to renovate a ham-operators facility and approved a NatureWorks grant appropriation to install a football court at Newark Station.
The Newark City Council Capital Improvements Committee on Feb. 18 approved two items and sent them to full council.
The committee approved an appropriation request of $35,000 to renovate a city-owned building used by amateur radio (ham) operators. The presenter said the structure on the right-hand side of the site is in disrepair; funds would be used to reskin the building, provide a workspace for operators and ensure the ham operators — described as a communications backstop during outages — have a reliable location. The appropriation was presented as a single resolution with two sections and passed by voice vote.
Separately, the committee approved an appropriation under the NatureWorks grant program to install a football court on city-owned land at Newark Station. The committee moved and seconded the item and recorded the vote as passing by voice.
Both items were forwarded to full council for final action.
