Covington schedules Sept. 14 soft opening for Schoolhouse Park splashpad; village infrastructure updates reported
Summary
Village Administrator Tyler Rench told the council that contractors began replacing the Street Garage roof, the WWTP and City Hall work are on track, the splashpad at Schoolhouse Park is open with a Sept. 14 soft opening planned, and the council declined to vacate Chestnut alley after a $1,200 survey estimate in favor of installing signage.
Village Administrator Tyler Rench told the Covington Village Council on Aug. 19 that contractors began replacing the Street Garage roof that day, and that work at the wastewater treatment plant and City Hall is proceeding as planned if there are no impediments. He said the splashpad at Schoolhouse Park is already open and that several families used it over the weekend.
Rench announced a "soft opening" for the splashpad on Sept. 14 from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM; he said Police Chief Tim Cline will help organize the event and the village will solicit local groups for food donations. Rench said the village plans a larger public event in the spring and that information about the soft opening will be posted on the village's Facebook page. The minutes do not record expected attendance numbers or specific food donors.
On a separate item, Rench said a survey of the Chestnut alley would cost about $1,200. After discussion the council agreed not to vacate the alley and instead to install signage; the minutes do not list a budget line or timeline for the signage installation.
The meeting also included routine business: the council approved the consent agenda (motion by Councilmember Amy Welborn, seconded by Jesse Reynolds) and adjourned at 7:25 PM. The minutes do not list public visitors or public-comment statements related to the splashpad or alley.
