Huntington Central Park East Landify Feasibility Study
The city explored partnering with Landify to remediate a defunct 8-acre former gun range in Central Park using imported construction soil to create new public open space at no direct cost to taxpayers.
America 250 Memorial Plaque at Pier Plaza
The council voted 5-2 to set aside its own 2017 naming-resolution process and fast-track a commemorative America 250 plaque at Pier Plaza. Dissenting council members said the Historic Resources Board and Library/Community Services Commission should review it first.
Aging harbour docks at 3821 Warner Avenue
The docks behind the fire station used by a youth sailing program, kayakers and the public are 50 years old, rotting and unsafe. Boaters asked the city to replace them, saying the lease puts major capital costs on the city, with estimates around $230,000-$250,000.
