Lock Haven council approves event and park requests, adopts several routine resolutions and an ordinance
Summary
Council approved multiple event and park use requests (Wings Over Piper, Special Olympics, Roads to Peace, Boulder Beast request), adopted Ordinance 2022‑03 (street excavation oversight to DPW), and passed several resolutions including mutual aid and radar support; a construction contract was postponed.
At its meeting, the Lock Haven City Council approved a series of event and park use requests, adopted routine resolutions and completed a second reading of an ordinance transferring oversight of street excavations to the Department of Public Works.
Event and park approvals: Council approved a request from event organizers to use the airport for the 20th annual 'Wings Over Piper' (requested dates Aug 4–7, 2022) contingent on receiving a formal application and insurance. The Clinton County Special Olympics received approval to use Petty Park for softball practices with a practice schedule to avoid conflicts and a submitted insurance certificate. Roads to Peace/Clinton County Women's Center was approved to use Triangle Park for sexual assault awareness month activities, and a request from Craig Fleming for Zindel Park (Boulder Beast/Fire on the Rocks 10K) was approved for the upcoming event.
Ordinance and resolutions: On second reading, Ordinance 2022‑03 — which moves oversight of street excavation permits from Code Enforcement to the Department of Public Works — was approved after the clerk confirmed the second reading and that the ordinance had been advertised. The council also approved resolution 2022‑10 (updated mutual aid agreement for county political subdivisions), a professional services agreement to administer CDBG labor standards (no net cost to the city per the presenter), and a routine resolution concerning liquid fuels allocation. The council debated and approved the Pennsylvania Municipal League request to support local use of radar (resolution 2022‑12) and passed a resolution in support of school‑funding action urged by Keystone‑area advocates (resolution 2022‑13).
Other business: A construction contract for the Airport Playground Project was postponed to the April 4 meeting. The city received two trust distributions (Hobergift Trust for park improvements and a small business development fund) and staff circulated invitations for local association meetings and an on‑campus legislative forum.
