From the meeting
Council scheduled approval for a new special event application from Run the Land Event Management Company for the 2026 Squirrel City Half Marathon on December 5, 2026. The event package includes Erie Street closures, police traffic support, portable restrooms, tents, and a route through Kent State University areas ending at Pizzuti Park. The application is still pending the city decision, so any event support vendors remain relevant.

What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
