In addition to the funding discussion, the Board reviewed several community health initiatives. These include the ongoing spring pop-up markets, which accept SNAP and EBT benefits, and the return of the summer farmers market. The Board also addressed several campaigns aimed at substance use awareness and homelessness, with events such as an overdose memorial in August and a speaker series in September for recovery month. Community gardens are set to open on May 1st, though there is a significant waitlist.

The inspectional services monthly report highlighted various inspections and violations, urging residents to participate in the community cleanup event led by the mayor. The Board also discussed efforts to replace lead service lines throughout the city. Residents are encouraged to check the status of their lines through an interactive map on the city’s website.
