Council staff outlines Safe Routes grant, trunk‑or‑treat and fall recreation calendar
Summary
Recreation staff updated council on trunk‑or‑treat plans for Oct. 18, painting and hydrant projects, and work to pursue a Hamilton County Safe Routes to School grant and committee; several members volunteered to serve on a Safe Routes committee.
Recreation staff told the CCDR committee that the recreation director invited all council members to participate in the city’s Trunk‑or‑Treat on Oct. 18 from 2–5 p.m., and summarized other upcoming seasonal events and projects including hydrant painting and winter programming.
Staff said recreation spending is about 56% of budget through August and that many major spending items occur in the second half of the year. She also described outreach to the nonprofit We Thrive about potential project funding and reported that 15 trash‑can lids provided by Hamilton County Resource were being distributed by public works.
On school‑area safety, staff reported a meeting with Hamilton County Public Health about the Safe Routes to School program and said the city would coordinate with the school district to form a Safe Routes committee that could pursue available funding. Council members discussed committee membership and whether to invite PTA representatives to collaborate; several members indicated willingness to serve.
Staff asked council to consider including tenant reporting in a pending rental‑registration update to improve tax tracking and code enforcement; members asked follow‑up questions about where registration revenue would be recorded (Fund 101, the general fund).
