Councilors thanked DPW for cleaning Solman's Creek, discussed reappearing neighborhood signs after the Woodlands closure, asked staff for a Mill and Miller Street cost-analysis update, and requested repainting of improperly marked fire-hydrant lines.

Councilors used several brief agenda items to share operational updates and community complaints.

Mr. Blushka thanked the administration and DPW, saying they had crews in Solman's Creek to remove brush and debris. "I want to thank the administration ... they had DPW in Solman's Creek cleaning it out," he said, and added he would inspect the work after the meeting.

Several members raised concerns about signs that reappeared after the Woodlands closure; a speaker said the signs moved to the JCC and to Kingston and urged staff to contact those distributing the signs. Members suggested checking with vendors at the record fair if necessary.

Councilors asked for a status update on the Mill and Miller Street cost-analysis study so the project does not fall behind. They also reported trash and abandoned furniture in the 300 block of North Main and requested repainting of incorrect fire-hydrant markings on the 700 block of Pennsylvania Avenue; Charlie acknowledged follow-up would be pursued.
