Fort Recovery secures Cooper Family Foundation grants for speed radar and AEDs; public-safety trainings planned
Summary
Council learned that the Cooper Family Foundation provided $3,600 for a speed radar and donated two AEDs for parks; public-safety staff reported recent trainings and a planned mock crash exercise at the fairgrounds on April 8.
Fort Recovery council members heard several public-safety updates Feb. 16, including two small grants and upcoming training events.
Public-safety staff reported a $3,600 grant from the Cooper Family Foundation designated for a speed radar and two new automated external defibrillators (AEDs) for village parks. Aaron Rengers noted the village is considering multiple locations for mobile speed signs, including SR 49, Sharpsburg Road and SR 119.
Nut graf: The grants are modest in dollar value but targeted to improve traffic enforcement and park safety; council discussed placement for the new equipment.
Jared Laux said he may test the weather siren due to potential inclement weather and summarized recent training: he attended a House of Worship Security & Risk Management training and led lockdown trainings at the school. Fort Recovery will host the mock crash this year at the fairgrounds on April 8.
Ending: The council recorded the acceptance of the grants in the meeting notes; placement and deployment details for the speed sign(s) and AEDs will be determined by staff.
