Top issues during term (15)(Public Safety)
Deer Management in Kent
Unknown until the ordinance is drafted.
Noise ordinance amendment
Sound panels or acoustic consultants could cost money, potentially split between the city and the business — no figure given.
Feeding Wild Animals and Fowl Ordinance Amendment
Rural EMS and dispatch modernization grant
Grant-funded if awarded, with matching appropriations only upon acceptance of the grant.
Feral Cat Feeding Ordinance
Minimal direct cost, though any future TNR program could carry city expenses.
School Resource Officer in Kent City Schools
Not specified in the record.
KPD kennel volunteer program
No cost estimate given, but the program is designed to rely on volunteers rather than paid staff.
Sidewalk Snow Removal Enforcement Expansion
Brine pre-wetting has cut salt use about 18%, and good management let Kent lend salt to neighboring cities.
Firefighter safety equipment grant
A $25,000 grant would fund safety equipment at no cost to the general fund if awarded.
Student and pedestrian safety as school year begins
Unlawful noise ordinance amendment
Fire department grant applications (SAFER, FP&S, AFG)
If awarded, the grants would bring federal funding for three firefighter/paramedic positions for three years plus safety equipment, reducing local costs.
Portage County Hazard Mitigation Plan
FEMA and grant funding eligibility depends on remaining in the plan.
Cybersecurity plan adoption
Needham Avenue Emergency Access
