Jeff Byerly told the board workers installing poles at North Bay hit a water line that was repaired the same day, and that multiple lights near the shelter and basketball courts were broken and left with glass and bulbs on the ground. Byerly described “3 or 4 lights” as damaged and said some fixtures appeared partially broken and likely would not illuminate; he said the damage may have been caused by rocks or a BB gun and recommended cameras to deter future vandalism.

Board members and attendees reiterated support for cameras at park facilities, noting prior discussion of cameras at Chinook Park. The board did not approve camera purchases at this meeting; members requested staff follow-up.

Separately, members said the concrete approach to Chinook Park restrooms becomes icy and slippery during winter weather, creating a recurring fall hazard. The board requested more frequent salting and discussed temporary fixes such as applying grit or using burlap for traction until a longer-term surface solution is identified. The transcript records board members noting the city is aware and asked to continue maintenance measures.

No emergency repairs or purchases were authorized at the Feb. 12 meeting; board members asked staff to investigate camera options and to maintain de-icing supplies at problem sites.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","02 12 2025 Parks Board Meeting","oneSentenceSummary","Board members reported vandalism that broke multiple lights at North Bay Park and noted slippery, icy concrete at Chinook Park restrooms.

Board members said the volunteer-built walking path at Chinook Park remains on hold pending better weather and further city coordination. The board noted a request for cameras at Chinook but did not record a final decision; discussion identified cameras as a likely priority if vandalism or safety concerns continue.

On Emerson Park, board members reported that resurfacing, painting pickleball lines, new benches and a water fountain are out for bids. Board members said the city must run a request-for-proposal process once project costs exceed the city’s informal bid threshold; one vendor bid had been received but the board stated additional bids are required before a final award.

Jeff Byerly reported the Parks Foundation purchased two rectangular Epic 1 basketball backboards for North Bay Park, at a combined cost of about $1,800; delivery is scheduled for Feb. 20 and city crews will install the units. Byerly said the foundation obtained a modest discount, lowering expected cost compared with initial estimates.

Board members reiterated that the Parks Board bylaws are being standardized across city boards and that procurement and legal thresholds are controlled by city staff.

No final contract awards or capital budget authorizations were recorded in the meeting minutes; the board discussed next steps for bids and expected further city staff work before any contracts are executed.","Board members discussed pending capital requests including a volunteer-built walking path at Chinook Park, bids for Emerson Park resurfacing and pickleball lines, security camera requests, and the purchase and installation schedule for two new basketball backboards at North Bay Park.",{"_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},6330600,"Ocean Shores Parks Board honors departing members, approves routine motions and sets next meeting",1228,94000,1322000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2313821-31112cb3b056e321a18d9a834e739635&start=94&end=1322","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2313821-31112cb3b056e321a18d9a834e739635/thumbnail_94000.jpg","/articles/6330600/Ocean-Shores/Grays-Harbor-County/Washington/Ocean-Shores-Parks-Board-honors-departing-members-approves-routine-motions-and-sets-next-meeting","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6330600-eb9d94f83d6cbfa3751bbba93f944634/orig.mp4?Expires=1775907963&Signature=nroOs99vMx14nyBRVoGqzNZGyWm08yooJZNN8xd6BB8KRqASORAAld~2V0aORiMrkvcSur14Fa3D69kG4eO9gXNmv0-lonpGWdKAnqvdWhnEUlB-fDQnYko2Gf8K19mL~qJIWi~f7NJeVsjPecP5MSKQHgBoI0CeX28UHcz6aKrNAmRhyqG4R8xi39vQLVmCjFMsfTutQKwKY~bU5caK4zfQ-G1zh7HdAZYqw~i5842362vXX682-kFVkUGRh7pz3kM5LEYH20VsjSR5lQhq~ScW4JmzQroYOUM7KKMrCZjB-I7pBRb47swsCJwAvjsFO5P-Zm0opGkMIzSXa8EKoQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Ocean Shores Parks Board met Feb. 12 and recognized three departing members, approved routine procedural motions and set its next regular meeting for March 12, 2025.
