City Approves Funding for Two New Police Vehicles in FY2027
The council approved an ordinance making additional appropriations for fiscal year 2027 for the capital improvements fund, specifically for two police vehicles. The funding will come from available bond principal and interest, with any remaining difference covered by the capital project fund balance. This allows the police department to replace aging vehicles and those involved in accidents, maintaining fleet readiness.
Picosen Declares August 4th, 2026, as National Night Out to Strengthen Community Safety
The city council proclaimed Tuesday, August 4th, 2026, as National Night Out in Picosen. This annual campaign, sponsored by the National Association of Town Watch, promotes community building, strong police-community partnerships, and neighborhood camaraderie to foster safer living environments. The Picosen Police Department, along with civic organizations and businesses, will host a free community event with games and refreshments.
Picosen Little League Proposes Indoor Batting Facility, Continues Strong Community Role
The council acknowledged the ongoing success and positive impact of Picosen Little League, established in 1959. The program serves 400 children aged 4-16 and is entirely volunteer-driven. A proposal was presented for an indoor batting facility at the complex, funded 100% by the league through fundraising and donations, with a goal of $60,000. The facility would provide batting and pitching practice space and equipment storage.
New Fire Hydrant to be Installed on W Creek Road Following Council Approval
The city council approved an ordinance appropriating $33,000 for fiscal year 2027 to install a new fire hydrant on the east side of W Creek Road. This project is beneficial due to ongoing VOTE widening construction, which will allow for the installation at a reduced cost as the road is already being dug up. The new hydrant will improve fire department service and protection for residents and businesses on the east side, preventing full road closures during emergencies.
