Council committee reports covered several public-works and parks items: street resurfacing, a draft citywide traffic-calming plan, adjustments to planned pickleball courts and a supplemental funding request for the police facility.

A South-side resident raised concerns that recently completed streets appeared uneven or "like crap." Lisa (Street Department liaison) told council that the current surface is chip-and-seal and that departments plan to add a microsurfacing layer in a later step, which should smooth visual inconsistencies. "It'll look a whole lot better once that other surface gets put on there," she said.

Public-service committee members reported that Park Avenue basketball courts and the skate park paving and striping are complete, though reinstallation of skate-park equipment remained. Parks & Recreation figures reported to council listed expenses for the department at $101,726 and revenue at $63,499 for the most recent reporting period presented during the meeting. An additional $25,000 was added to the Park Avenue skate-park project to fix the base layer.

The council also heard that planned pickleball courts will be reduced from four to two and incorporated into the skateboard and basketball area, a change council members said lowers the cost from roughly $140,000 for four courts to about $40,000 for two courts.

Public-safety committee remarks included an update on police facility construction: the project was reported as roughly four weeks behind schedule because of initial soil delays, and a funding request of about $600,000 was before council to cover soil stabilization costs and to reinstate lighting and garage doors that had been removed in earlier cost-cutting. The committee also noted training and traffic‑safety activities by the London Police Department.

Council members said administration will continue to track timelines and costs and that the street department will follow up on microsurface scheduling for finished appearance. There was no formal council vote on the resurfacing, pickleball or police-facility items during the meeting; the funding request for the police facility was presented as pending legislation.
