Saginaw praises staff after 1,500‑person trunk‑or‑treat; public‑works shows new street‑sign toppers
Summary
Council recognized staff and community partners for a trunk‑or‑treat event estimated at about 1,500 attendees, thanked Trinity Baptist Temple for providing 1,000 hotdogs, and received a public-works presentation showing planned street‑sign toppers with inventory work to begin in Highland Station.
City officials used the regular meeting to recognize staff and community partners for a trunk‑or‑treat event that an organizer estimated drew about 1,500 people. The organizer thanked volunteers, nonprofit partners and local businesses, singled out Trinity Baptist Temple for preparing 1,000 free hotdogs, and praised staff efforts across departments including recreation, public works, finance, police and fire.
The presentation named several staff and volunteers involved in planning and operations — including recreation services manager Vicki Weldon and event planner Jason England — and highlighted donated supplies from local businesses. Council members expressed appreciation for the turnout and the work of city staff.
After the recognition, Brandon Newsome, the city’s director of public works, presented prototype street‑sign toppers. Newsome said the city has approved two toppers so far, will begin inventory and replacement work with Highland Station as the initial target, and estimated it could take a couple of years to install toppers across the city.
No formal votes were required for the presentations. The council proceeded to the next agenda items after brief compliments and thanks to staff.
