In a recent government meeting, community leaders and residents gathered to discuss pressing local issues, including the future of the South Lebanon Historical Society and public safety concerns related to school bus traffic.
The meeting commenced with a prayer for guidance and safety for first responders, followed by a pledge of allegiance. The floor was then opened for public comments, with Lisa Wilson representing the South Lebanon Historical Society. She announced an upcoming fall craft show scheduled for Saturday from 4 to 7 PM at Rogers Park, aimed at benefiting the King's local food pantry. Attendees are encouraged to bring canned goods or personal care items for donation.
Wilson expressed concern regarding the renewal of the society's lease, which has not yet been addressed by the council despite previous requests. She emphasized the urgency of the matter, noting that the society has commitments for the upcoming year and requires clarity on their lease status to proceed with planning.
Rick Gibbs, another resident, raised safety issues regarding school bus traffic in his neighborhood. He reminded the council of a previous request for no parking signs following two school bus accidents, which had been passed as an emergency measure two months prior.
The meeting highlighted the community's active engagement in local governance and the importance of timely communication between the council and its constituents. As discussions continue, residents await further updates on the lease situation and safety measures.
