EDC reports drainage work and plans decorative hydrant fencing at fire station pavilion
Summary
Board members received an update on recent drainage improvements and aesthetic plans for the fire station pavilion area, including use of painted fire-hydrant elements as fencing and matching powder-coated chain-link fencing to the library.
The City of Cleveland Economic Development Corporation received an update on improvements at the fire station pavilion, including completed drainage work and plans to use refurbished fire-hydrants as decorative fencing along the pavilion.
Roger Brooks, speaking for the board, said the group purchased small fire hydrants some time ago and will repurpose them as fence elements after painting and grinding. "We are gonna make that come to life," Brooks said, describing the hydrants as an economical, aesthetic fencing material.
Brooks said the city completed a drain ("a swell") on the north side of the pavilion to move standing water toward the San Jacinto side and prevent ponding near an adjacent building. He also reported plans to add drainage by the parking lot ramp to improve accessibility and reduce standing water.
Board members discussed fence style. The group plans a chain-link solution to avoid blocking views of the pavilion and to match the recently completed powder-coated chain-link fence around the library.
The update was informational; no formal vote or contract award was recorded at the meeting. The board asked staff to continue work on drainage and fencing details and to return with cost or contractor information in a future report.
Ending: Board members expressed satisfaction with the improvements and encouraged coordination with public-works maintenance and design to maximize long-term utility and minimize future rework.
