Explanation
This ordinance authorizes the City Clerk to enter into a grant agreement with Franklinton Board of Trade in support of Songs on Sullivant.
The 5th annual Songs on Sullivant: An Evening of Caroling & Community will be held on December 14th, 2024 at the Lower Lights Ministries Early Childhood Enrichment Center, (2323 Sullivant Avenue), which opened in early 2024. This is a completely free, family-friendly evening of fun.
Songs on Sullivant began in 2019 in response to a rash of negative publicity about Sullivant Avenue and its many challenges. This event aims to bring smiles and cheer to parts of the community that need it.
The event, which is completely free, is all about spreading peace, love, and joy along Sullivant Avenue through Franklinton and the Hilltop.
Emergency action is necessary because the scheduled event is quickly approaching on December 14, 2024.
Fiscal Impact: $30,000 will be appropriated and expended from available funds within the Neighborhood Initiatives subfund.
