Hobart updates: State of the City event, afterschool relaunch and dog-park work
Summary
City staff announced an April 1 State of the City event, described a relaunch of an afterschool program run with police and the mayor's youth council that served about 40 children on its first day, and said the dog park has been overseeded with fixtures to be installed and a forthcoming fee amendment for key fobs.
City officials used the meeting to highlight several community programs and upcoming events.
Chair announced the State of the City event at the high school on April 1 (doors at 5:00 p.m.; ceremony at 6:00 p.m.; program at 6:30 p.m.). The chair also said the city has reenergized an afterschool program operated in partnership with the police department and the mayor's youth council at the PCC center; "on the first day they started... they had over 40 some kids," the chair said, noting positive interaction between first responders and children.
On parks, the chair said the dog park has been overseeded and that fixtures will be installed; the authority is exploring key fobs in partnership with the Humane Society and will bring an amendment to the fee schedule to permit selling or issuing fobs.
These items were presented as informational updates rather than formal actions; the chair emphasized youth engagement and public-safety partnerships as the main goals for the afterschool program and said staff will return with any ordinance or fee changes for formal consideration.
