Mayor Sam D. Keller said the city is applying for a $150,000 NatureWorks grant to renovate a baseball field at Harvest Home Park, with a required city match of $37,500 (25%).
The grant application, Keller said, would fund field renovation work at Harvest Home Park; the council did not take a formal vote on the application during the meeting. Safety Service Director Braun reported the preconstruction meeting for the Harvest Home Road Project has occurred and construction is expected to begin in early July with an estimated duration of four to five weeks. Braun also noted that House Bill 184, which would affect ORC 9.66 and could restrict the public disclosure of certain economic development projects, is under review by the law director and may affect how new projects are handled.
President of Council Stefanie Hawk announced a planned Cheviot Day fundraiser at a Cincinnati Reds game on Wednesday, July 8, with a 7:10 p.m. start and a postgame concert by John Pardi; proceeds will support Harvest Home Park projects. Family Day at Harvest Home Park will be held June 3, and council members were asked to participate.
The application and the road project are staff-led initiatives at this stage. No formal council action on the grant application was recorded in the minutes; the next procedural step noted in the meeting was staff follow-up and, for legal questions, review by the law director.
