Mayor Bemmes offers condolences; announces multiple street grants totaling $490,000+
Summary
Mayor Bo Bemmes offered condolences for longtime public-works employee Rob Huneck and announced grants including $105,000 in MRF funds for Hunt Road and a $385,000 SORTA grant for Jefferson Avenue; the Harvest Lane project was also discussed with SCIP grant funding covering roughly half the cost.
Mayor Bo Bemmes opened a portion of the Sept. 16 meeting with condolences to the family of Rob Huneck, noting Huneck "spent 39 of his 60 years on this earth" serving the city's Public Works Department and that several family members have provided long service to the same department.
Bemmes also announced a string of grant awards and road projects: the city received $105,000 in MRF funds to repave Hunt Road from Fuhrman to Blue Ash; a SORTA grant for $385,000 to pave Jefferson Avenue from Koehler to Reading Road; and the Harvest Lane Road project was described as beginning mid-August with sewer repairs, new curbs and widening where possible, with about half the project's cost paid using SCIP grant dollars. The minutes do not provide total project budgets for Harvest Lane or list the SCIP grant dollar amount.
Bemmes encouraged residents to "SLOW DOWN" and watch for students walking to and from school, thanked volunteers and local business partners, and urged residents to sign up for Hamilton County emergency alerts at AlertHC.org.
The announcements provide concrete dollar amounts and project locations but do not include implementation timelines beyond the Harvest Lane start reference or break down full funding sources beyond the items recorded in the minutes.
