Summary
At an agenda-review meeting of the Struthers City Council on March 25, the chair outlined upcoming resurfacing work beginning on Bob Seamway and a May schedule for Lincoln and other streets, previewed an April 15 Parks and Recreation presentation on synthetic turf, and summarized a safety-service report praising recent police and fire emergency-training with schools.
The chair of the Struthers City Council called an agenda-review meeting to order on March 25 and reviewed a package of community notices, roadwork schedules and committee meetings. "I'd like to call this agenda review meeting to order," the chair said as the meeting opened.
The chair read the mayor's report in the mayor's absence, announcing that the Struthers Historical Society will meet April 11 at 1 p.m. with guest speaker Stephon Jones, and that the Placo spring craft show is set for April 12 at the Placo Center. The city also reminded residents about football and cheer sign-ups on April 18 at Holy Trinity Church and advertised rotary flag rentals and a Struthers baseball-league 'night at the races' on April 18.
Public-works updates were a focal point. The chair said street sweeping will continue through Coke Alley, East of Fifth, the North Side and Nebo, and that resurfacing work has begun on Bob Seamway. "We will have to close this road to any through traffic at some point," the chair said, adding the city will notify residents when closures are scheduled. The remainder of resurfacing is planned to begin in May on Lincoln from Ninth to Garfield, Creed from Garfield to Ag Argonne, and West Lewis and Elm Court.
Officials also previewed a Parks and Recreation briefing: a presentation on synthetic turf is scheduled for April 15 at 6 p.m., followed by a Finance and Legislation meeting to review three pieces of pending legislation. The chair confirmed committee arrangements and asked members to attend the scheduled sessions.
A safety-service report thanked staff and volunteers for the city’s Easter egg hunt and credited the street and wastewater departments with ongoing repairs, sweeping and maintenance. The report noted recent rainfall prompted additional wastewater checks. The chair also thanked the Struthers Police Department and Struthers Fire Department and singled out Captain Haas for leading joint emergency-response training with the schools. Residents were directed to contact Anthony Larisha, safety service director for the city, with questions.
The chair opened the meeting to standard procedural items, including the motion to dispense with reading the March 25 minutes and accept them as prepared by the clerk. At the close of the transcript, a motion to adjourn was made and seconded; the record stops after the second and does not show a vote or formal confirmation of adjournment.
No formal votes or ordinance actions were recorded in the available transcript. The town will continue committee-level review on the dates announced and will provide residents updates about road closures and project timing as schedules are finalized.
