Summary
Lock Haven council approved a slate of permits and routine items including street closures for holiday and athletic events, park-use requests for weddings and displays, permission to bid the 2026 paving project, sale of decommissioned police-car items, and $7,000 for police Act 120 training.
At its March 2 meeting the Lock Haven City Council cleared a series of routine agenda items and community event requests.
The council approved multiple park and street-use permits: an East Main Street closure for a Nov. 19 community holiday event, a request by Bill Stankovic to place three crosses in Triangle Park for an Easter display (March 28–April 11), a March 28 "No Kings" festival requested by Clinton County Indivisible, the annual Great Island Adventure triathlon (partial closure June 27), and the Lock Haven Fire Department's Halloween parade street-closure request. Staff discussed ADA placement, booth locations, food-truck distance rules and coordination with PennDOT or police where required.
Council also approved a multi-day reservation at Zindell Park for a wedding, granted permission to advertise bids for the 2026 batch paving project (53 patch locations and one curbing location, with bids due in April and work beginning May 4 under a 60-day contract) and authorized posting decommissioned police-car items on the municipal auction platform. The council approved $7,000 to fund a second police-candidate's Act 120 academy training (with a repayment agreement if the officer leaves within five years).
Votes on these permits and routine items were taken by motion and roll call; staff and applicants will coordinate logistical details and any required agency approvals.
The meeting closed after announcements about forthcoming bid results for a separate construction package and next steps in the city manager hiring process.
