Safety director reports resurfacing, splash pad timeline and Riverside project; police promotion prompts civil service hiring
Summary
Safety Director Anthony told council resurfacing is planned for spring, the City Splash Pad is expected to open this spring/summer, construction has begun on the Struthers Riverside project (reported as 100% funded), and Jeremy Kramer was sworn in as a police captain, prompting steps to recruit a replacement officer through civil service.
Anthony, identified in the caucus transcript and later referenced as the safety director, delivered the monthly operational and projects report to the Struthers City Council caucus.
He opened by thanking city staff for their work in 2025 and said several projects remain on track entering 2026. Anthony said resurfacing work carried over from 2025 is planned for this spring and that the City Splash Pad is expected to open in the spring or summer of 2026. "Construction has started for our Struthers Riverside project, and it's a 100% funded, which is awesome," Anthony said in the caucus.
A council member asked about the $1 million downtown project timeline; Anthony said work should begin around May and that the city was waiting on a few required signatures before putting the project out for bid. On personnel, the council noted that Jeremy Kramer "was sworn in today as a captain for our police department," and officials said they would work with civil service to hire another officer to fill the vacancy. The transcript records that Mamula has retired and that Mr. Singh has scheduled a civil service meeting; no specific civil service meeting date was recorded in the caucus.
Anthony said he would provide weekly updates on projects and welcomed council members to bring new ideas or ordinance proposals to his office. No formal votes or policy decisions related to these projects were recorded during the caucus.
