Mayor reports $99,000 CDBG sidewalk award; K-9 grant denied, billboard campaign planned
Summary
Mayor Robert Geissman told council the village received a $99,000 CDBG grant for sidewalks; the MCDAC K-9 grant was not approved this year; the Medina County Health Department will place an anti-stigma billboard in Lodi.
Mayor Robert Geissman reported multiple grant and project updates at the May 11 meeting. The village was awarded a $99,000 Community Development Block Grant to install sidewalks on Ohio Street, Legion Street, and Gaylord Street; the work is most likely to occur next year. Mayor Geissman also said the MCDAC grant application to assist with the police K-9 officer’s salary was not approved; the Medina County Drug Task Force used the funds for school resource officers this year, and the village will reapply next year.
Council Member DeMell reported that the Medina County Health Department is sponsoring a billboard campaign to reduce stigma around drug addiction, and one billboard will be placed in Lodi; village safety-force members may volunteer to appear and were asked to contact a person recorded only as "John." Mayor Geissman also noted he has received a quote for a restroom at Richman Field and expects additional project quotes soon. The minutes do not include grant award conditions, project timelines beyond the sidewalk note, or the K-9 grant application details.
