Lone Tree council denies Lions Club request to paint fire hydrants in decorative themes
Summary
The Lone Tree City Council voted 4-1 on Aug. 4 to deny a Lions Club request to paint fire hydrants in decorative themes, noting a preference that hydrants be painted red; Councilmember Goedken was the lone dissent.
Mayor Josh Spilman presided over the Lone Tree City Council meeting on Aug. 4, when the council voted to deny a request from the Lions Club to paint fire hydrants around town in decorative themes.
The motion to deny the Lions Club proposal passed 4-1; Councilmember Goedken was recorded as opposed. The meeting record states the council prefers hydrants be painted red rather than in decorative schemes.
The item was taken up as part of routine business; the motion was made by Councilmember Ford and seconded by Councilmember Hamm. No public testimony or direct quotes from Lions Club representatives appear in the meeting minutes provided.
By denying the request, the council left current maintenance and painting standards in place. The minutes do not specify any follow-up action for staff or a formal policy amendment; the decision was recorded as a discrete vote in the meeting minutes.
The council handled the remainder of that agenda segment as routine business and moved on to other items, including a road-closure resolution and license approvals.
