Staff reported plowing and salting, shelter and restroom maintenance, removal of Christmas decorations, routine trash collection and brush removal across parks including Memorial Park, Abner Longley Park, Stoneater Bike Park, Rees Park, Rolling Meadows and Kitty Park. Staff said new playground equipment installed in November has held up and that a slide replacement was inspected and certified by a playground inspector; staff thanked the Kiwanis Club for contributing substantial funding to that project.

The department described pool‑related work: replacement of umbrella arms and concession countertops later this month, and supervisory training. Thomas Ingalls completed a recertification for lifeguard instructor duties and is scheduled to hold two separate lifeguard certification classes for applicants. Staff said open interviews for the 2025 Seashore Waterpark season had strong turnout and that they expect to fill two positions by March. The parks superintendent said the city added one employee last year to support operations after the addition of Stoneater.

Rees Park work and the associated lift station were delayed by freezing weather; staff said they expect the soccer program to begin April 17 and are aiming for a May completion on lift station work but noted weather has held up progress. Staff described cross‑training with the Department of Public Works and safety training supported by Lebanon utilities and by a training session from AMPA; utilities covered the cost for some training.

Ending: Staff said hiring, cross‑training and planned repairs should help the department manage a busy spring season; specific hiring dates and completion dates were given as targets rather than guarantees.","Parks staff reviewed winter operations across city properties, reported playground and pool equipment work, lifeguard certification activity and hiring plans, and described slowdowns at Rees Park due to freezing weather.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6350556,"Lebanon City purchases two properties adjacent to Abner Longley Park; demolitions planned",40,1106570,1146725,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2232436-2109e5af6f5a37ed3379f2de7b6b9749&start=1106&end=1146","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2232436-2109e5af6f5a37ed3379f2de7b6b9749/thumbnail_1106570.jpg","/articles/6350556/Lebanon-City/Boone-County/Indiana/Lebanon-City-purchases-two-properties-adjacent-to-Abner-Longley-Park-demolitions-planned","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6350556-18ff878e110141ca9888ebcafab21ead/orig.mp4?Expires=1773889729&Signature=H9x6836Vc8zNgS9dWiMN4Xx4pXq54cW7JeiInmE25yhXDI9w9dmfESe6t1Zs4mZ~l-3m-pdreu3axypjp0P9q-oS6SSefoyJTDyEoxWrv8~wdkOpSMvQqe~Qje-5ShCN-U8oLRUuwqwaE4IjQhbIf-~giesm1nK~KGI6XWHjl3Rv3rOg1lNJhjQo-ajNK6~bypYGc8ep5nmyY7oOXhHxzHtBfJ8w8ZJF0JHvXbtr~kizRRibuL4XdwfVD2JhibR95zKUCgTGTPsr94uZxiLouMQECPGFsYPMvMnro~ku3tDB50yQ-mjVz0kSB0XopDdeZ-iLFJu2pLsvyJOspJgSjA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Lebanon City parks staff reported the city completed purchases of two properties near Abner Longley Park: the former EnviroChem building on Thompson Street and a property on Beck Street. Staff said demolition bids are being prepared and that the city will move to remove structures to clear park access and improve the site.

Staff identified the Beck Street property as a house located between the park entrance and exit drives; staff said demolition of that house is now under contract and a funding request to finalize the project will go to council the following Monday. The Thompson Street property — described as the old EnviroChem building adjacent to Abner Longley Park — was acquired after an 18‑year effort, staff said.

Staff said the city will solicit bids to demolish the Thompson Street building and pursue the necessary approvals and funding. No demolition timelines beyond the Beck Street house contract were provided.

Ending: Staff thanked personnel involved in completing the purchases and said demolition bids and a council funding request are the next steps; exact schedules for demolition were not specified.","The city finalized acquisitions including the former EnviroChem building on Thompson Street and a house on Beck Street; staff said bids are being prepared for demolition and a funding request will be filed to finalize at least one project.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6350560,"Organizers, parents praise Stoneater Bike Park venue; league and staff seek ways to reduce trail closures during races",188,119950,308725,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2232436-2109e5af6f5a37ed3379f2de7b6b9749&start=119&end=308","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2232436-2109e5af6f5a37ed3379f2de7b6b9749/thumbnail_119950.jpg","/articles/6350560/Lebanon-City/Boone-County/Indiana/Organizers-parents-praise-Stoneater-Bike-Park-venue-league-and-staff-seek-ways-to-reduce-trail-closures-during-races","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6350560-485c39b468bd3df826e05233d9d92ac7/orig.mp4?Expires=1773889729&Signature=MvNoPb-c79BLuFeefIb4gVSVSy5dARlj7ETEOdLnyateAPvXvt2GDkvFDAUyGcpWD88AC0gWu8pLLs4rAMMJ~nd8OHqQNSIFjhn04s7eji86nv~M9g15qnLH5huyQ~eMvRsr0wlu~4j4Fd5EH9cSa4GUs~ADDc72jJClSYY9os7ZVw6CakC2TbbABBhFx0jO2Y6c4KnyO9ekTJWSqYuIbHWvN2H6kQnKIRoXEU9oxJq0FRSryxTDm0bV9lAhlxdteebo4XfFWHOiMXiRxrh-vYhzT~YQ5jHtEAItSs-aYjgm5fVcsa7Wp3-dDUMs8i1agBoFufd5UhSIQpSjfjR1VQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Lebanon City parks staff reported positive feedback from recent races held at Stoneater Bike Park and described steps to reduce disruptions to the public during future events.

Staff said parents praised the course because they could see about 75% of the race from the pit zone area, which made it easier to monitor children compared with wooded courses. Organizers asked the city to consider ways to keep at least one trail open to the public during weekend championship events; staff said they will try to keep a trail accessible while preserving safety for competitors.

Staff described logistical issues observed at the event: some loose gravel on cross‑country trails that the parks crew will address; muddy or soft skill‑trail sections caused by thawing; and questions about where visiting participants would camp. Staff said the league prefers on‑site camping but the city has discouraged camping on park ground because of the risk of methane from an on‑site landfill. Parks staff said they drilled more than 100 test holes and performed ambient air sampling and “never encountered any even trace amounts of methane gas,” and therefore did not impose a blanket ban on pavement camping. Last year, staff said two people camped on pavement (the league director and an assistant) and that league representatives are talking with local campgrounds to arrange group rates.

Staff also reported a $25,000 grant from Discover Boone County (formerly the county CVB) to pay for trail maintenance this spring; staff said those funds will be applied to trail repairs and stabilization.

Ending: Staff said they will coordinate with race organizers and crews to keep at least one trail open where feasible, and work on trail repairs before the busy season.","After hosting races at Stoneater Bike Park, staff reported strong praise from parents for sightlines and race management and said organizers asked to keep at least one trail open for public use during championship events; staff flagged camping constraints near the park and said methane tests showed no trace.",{"_33":112,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":113,"_41":114,"_43":115,"_45":116,"_47":117,"_49":118,"_51":119,"_53":120,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":121,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":122,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6350564,"Lebanon City plans new walking paths, phases already funded; $600,000 estimate for paths and lighting",94,480,95090,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2232436-2109e5af6f5a37ed3379f2de7b6b9749&start=0&end=95","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2232436-2109e5af6f5a37ed3379f2de7b6b9749/thumbnail_480.jpg","/articles/6350564/Lebanon-City/Boone-County/Indiana/Lebanon-City-plans-new-walking-paths-phases-already-funded-600000-estimate-for-paths-and-lighting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6350564-797f3cac17d9dc7c979b26aacd903cab/orig.mp4?Expires=1773889729&Signature=eZv5Be3lG4C45TtKXlOMVVPsHDH7hpAl6gl4fQk~saaek31x31De4WfAF2YuG0pQihvN2Q8wJrImgG6NUiyaE5U85pPcDBSwKdgjgND14MsypKjyrthxh~4LZT6yZpt0TApJd3LL9eX5JniwF0dGfGAbnrEZXZV~oNJCNvibgQZul4Bt2qETZNRG9RthmLBrSCOchohKWWGHa~Ak-M0juXj4VZcHk7HD~ebw7hUIOCIGbTXdsf36u7-s26cxKmnJfBtBC~BVseZijkuAP50N0j-0K2CwMEeFK4wMH9GSRqukZtKwtYIBjJJnPt2tQYG65mqDIkObp5dwRF8g77aMyA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Lebanon City parks staff said the department is preparing a multi-phased push to add walking paths and lighting across city parks, with an initial construction phase already under contract.

City staff told the board that a preliminary plan and budget presented to the City Council last year included several path projects. When the budget was discussed last year, staff estimated roughly $600,000 for paths and lighting; staff said American Rescue Plan Act funds have paid for much of the lighting that is in the scope. Staff added the council asked for a more refined plan before funding additional phases.

The department said the first phase already funded and under contract will build a path this spring along the west side of the football fields, running from the Big 4 Trail down to the park entrance. Staff also described plans for perimeter and intra-park paths at Abner Longley Park; the Abner Longley path referenced in the meeting is inside the park perimeter.

City staff noted additional maintenance and construction work related to the trail system, including possible new sidewalks and concrete near information kiosks to address muddy areas caused by seasonal freeze-thaw cycles. The department said it is refining plans and will return to council for further funding decisions.

Ending: Staff scheduled follow-up with the City Council to refine designs and funding for later phases; dates for further council action were not specified.","City parks staff described a multi-phase program of new walking paths and lighting funded in part by American Rescue Plan dollars, with an estimated $600,000 budget and an initial phase under contract to run along the west side of the football fields to the park entrance.","actionData","errors"]
