Council Approves Summer Events; Discusses Beach Cleanup and Defibrillator Cost

Borough of Conneaut Lake · July 9, 2025

Summary

Council approved community events including a July 12 car show, an Aug. 9 'Liberty the Second' event and a Sept. 6 fishing contest. Councilors also discussed heavy garbage after July 4 and the purchase cost for a defibrillator (about $3,000 up-front, $300–$400 annually).

Council approved three community events: the Conneaut Lake Area Historical Society Car Show on July 12, "Liberty the Second" on August 9, and the Conneaut Lake Sportsman’s Association 40th Annual Fishing Contest on September 6. Each event approval was recorded as a motion and carried unanimously.

Beach and property reports noted that several docks remained available for lease; John Chuey identified specific docks (2N, 9S & 9N, and 5N), one pending payment. Richard Holabaugh reported "a tremendous amount of garbage after July 4th weekend down at the beach" and suggested council consider a larger dumpster for that weekend in the future.

On property and safety, Jim Ross presented cost estimates for purchasing a defibrillator, saying the borough would need an initial investment of approximately $3,000 for the equipment and training and ongoing annual expenses of $300 to $400. Council discussed proximity of ambulance services and existing devices but did not approve purchase at the July meeting; Wilkins will investigate updates to the building security system and report back.

All three event approvals were moved and approved during the New Business portion of the meeting.
