Board members asked staff to prepare a specific design and cost estimate that could be presented to the city for approval. \"Okay, perfect. I'll know what you need. We'll get 1 put together, and then I can report that back to you,\" staff member Brad Baker said in response.

The discussion focused on accessibility and matching the roof color to the city building; members explicitly said they do not want doors or screens and want easy access for people using ramps.

Staff member Miss Moore said Springfest is scheduled for Saturday, June 7, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Community Park and that the city needs 38 volunteers, each serving two-hour shifts. \"I do need 38 volunteers to make this event successful,\" Moore said, describing volunteer duties including supervising inflatables and a volunteer check-in station.

Moore listed confirmed attractions and vendors: six inflatables, a dunk/dump tank, a petting zoo, face painters, and food vendors including Skyline Chili, Domino's (Trenton) and Barking Burger Company. Community groups — Metro Parts of Butler County, Midpoint Library, Butler County Soil and Water Conservation District and local churches — will staff tables under park shelters and distribute raffle tickets or giveaways.

Board members discussed promotional materials and asked staff to time signage and brochure distribution to coincide with summer events. Miss Moore said the city has started social media promotion and is working with community partners on brochure placement.

Moore also previewed the \"Movies in the Park\" series (first film Sonic the Hedgehog 3) and a concert series beginning in June; staff are securing food trucks, a photo booth and other attractions for those events. For the first movie night staff are renting a 70-foot obstacle course and are seeking food-truck commitments and two additional volunteers.

The board did not take formal action on event approvals at the meeting; staff will continue outreach to volunteers and vendors and return with updates.","Organizers previewed Springfest on June 7 at Community Park and described a broader summer events calendar; staff requested 38 volunteers for Springfest, listed vendors and inflatables, and previewed movies-in-the-park and concerts.",{"_33":89,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":90,"_41":91,"_43":92,"_45":93,"_47":94,"_49":95,"_51":96,"_53":97,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":98,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":99,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6054095,"Parks board recommends Veterans Memorial brochure to council; granite order and donation program work in progress",745,996000,1741000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3339962-2d8f999de8ee799a92b12ee3d0e50856&start=996&end=1741","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3339962-2d8f999de8ee799a92b12ee3d0e50856/thumbnail_996000.jpg","/articles/6054095/Ohio/Parks-board-recommends-Veterans-Memorial-brochure-to-council-granite-order-and-donation-program-work-in-progress","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6054095-a37843c560f7dc7e5aeccabcf78eacc3/orig.mp4?Expires=1771181375&Signature=IKIzFm63epUUtXYUWc5jmb6zltrABqQY1BpMmgO5o7lBN8fkax4kIN-1BgNGRn~oYlP68uY~BwXP8iTz-qFOjRXCP4nl-PJKOTwsJxUq-oXmnGXnomI8ZLv2WTc1DIV1kBzWcqCExVKobSV84cUIWTxosfqi~sluPdgyB6GsvYG4BcsjCVUhJyKIMcvKbjG-kKCPHV~9AaA~8t9KVpeImwuoPZJyPmFA~8cY4r1DcpKEGGLfJfSgaHLhvTv8J0oCZ5COd8aLcgHiC6RNWa8uyI5gAdVcxEI341Qe77lp3u6clYGZBJ4IQcGMm3s5Fm0Sq-qSoJCGzUvfjeHMw5ya8A__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","At its May 13 meeting the Trenton Parks and Recreation Board recommended a brochure for the proposed Trenton Veterans Memorial be sent to City Council for approval and discussed procurement and fundraising next steps.

Board member Miss Butts moved to recommend the brochure and Miss Lucas seconded the motion; a roll call vote recorded the motion as approved. \"So moved,\" Miss Butts said when making the motion; the board recorded a majority affirmative vote on the recommendation.

Staff member Brad Baker and staff member Miss Moore updated the board on procurement and donation efforts. Baker said the city has a materials cost estimate of roughly $356,120 for major items such as granite and structural elements; the figure \"does not include the labor that we will potentially have to pay out,\" he said, and the price is \"locked down until January.\" Baker also said a 50% deposit would be required if the city places an order for the granite.

Moore described progress on a static-display donation application the city is pursuing; she said the application requires details such as GPS coordinates and photos and that the program keeps an application \"in an open status for a period of 3 years or till an offer has been made.\" \"It's not a guarantee,\" Baker said of receiving material donations through that program.

Veterans-subcommittee members pressed for a timeline to provide artwork and engraving information. Baker suggested the committee aim to have art by October and later said \"later than September\" would give staff time to prepare materials for council review; a board member also suggested having final art earlier if council needs to review prior to ordering.

Board members discussed signage for the memorial site and recommended staff pursue a large, visible sign with a QR code to promote the memorial and donation information at community events. Staff said they would raise the signage request with the city manager at the next council meeting.

The board's recommendation on the brochure is a referral to City Council; further procurement actions and any contract commitments will require council approval or specific staff authority.","The board voted to recommend a memorial-brick brochure to City Council and discussed a $356,120 materials estimate for memorial granite, a static-display donation application and deadlines for veterans-subcommittee artwork input.",{"_33":101,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":102,"_41":103,"_43":104,"_45":105,"_47":106,"_49":107,"_51":108,"_53":109,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":110,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":111,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6054100,"Trenton board: splash pad equipment in hand, bids open May 30 and council presentation set for June 5",142,672000,814000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3339962-2d8f999de8ee799a92b12ee3d0e50856&start=672&end=814","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3339962-2d8f999de8ee799a92b12ee3d0e50856/thumbnail_672000.jpg","/articles/6054100/Ohio/Trenton-board-splash-pad-equipment-in-hand-bids-open-May-30-and-council-presentation-set-for-June-5","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6054100-93eb9fd83f05531058e9ea4bfe8f215a/orig.mp4?Expires=1771181375&Signature=akfQpktQ-5OazLRfUqjp5~vNiNkljNhxngbeYh4Vv8at5Fs~GlDBuW2aYN0DM6XtOxh5pfs1J0N0eTI3ODTCo7ExqsQq3r1VUca1dAIH9g5RZjc8IlDV3yUQJgThQBQ9ZcvOS~0Lp9428WxAeGw2GC9ljHEIXN3wnWtv8NhdS33uB7KZw3nXrDcp40fV5dwmhGn0IlF3StNxT8sv~ZyGgBR4jTStFVLgcmD~KCH3aL6043Nkgb2jObifyvirnxBdWsUnQL8ECWlqkH~22rO21XzLIhL77l7CV66LHWAml5A5m2E82r0SCywQQgOZwhZo6e3JKnySl3Z6ju0un1mDSg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Trenton Parks and Recreation Board members were told May 13 that the city has begun receiving equipment for the Community Park splash pad and plans to take contractor recommendations to the City Council in early June.

The board heard from staff member Brad Baker that the city has received the first skid of splash-pad equipment and expects more shipments in the weeks ahead. \"We actually have stuff in our hands, in our possession,\" Baker said. He told the board the splash pad bid opening is scheduled for May 30, he will present the engineer's recommendation and pricing to council on June 5, and a pre-construction meeting is set for June 11.

Board members and staff emphasized safety and site design as they develop the pad within the park's larger master plan. \"There's gonna be landscaping around it...there'll be embeds that's in the concrete with benches and the shade and stuff like that,\" Baker said, adding that the design should be a deterrent to unauthorized access but \"it's not gonna be 100% bulletproof.\" He also said shelter 2 would be temporarily taken out of service while electrical work is re-routed during construction.

Baker reported technical progress: city staff performed infiltration tests for drainage and \"all the calculations worked out right,\" meaning the drainage approach met the city's checks. He said staff has been coordinating with public safety officers. \"I have been working with the PDE. Chief Seeball has actually been involved a little bit in it,\" Baker said, noting the city has an \"intelligence committee\" reviewing safety and site layout.

Board members pressed for the broader planning context. Baker said the splash pad is being considered along with shelters, playground equipment and an amphitheater so future expansion is not blocked. He repeated that some features — benches, shade, and embedded elements in concrete — will limit direct access to equipment and that the city will fence work zones during construction.

Discussion-only items included ongoing design choices and safety trade-offs; formal action on contracting and award will occur after the May 30 bid opening and the June 5 council presentation. The board was told the construction schedule and availability of facilities will be coordinated with reservation staff to limit disruption to park programs.

Looking ahead, staff said they will present bid results to council on June 5 and hold the pre-construction meeting on June 11 before contractors mobilize to site.","City staff told the Trenton Parks and Recreation Board that the Community Park splash pad project has equipment on site, a bid opening on May 30, and a planned council presentation on June 5; staff described safety planning, drainage tests and a June 11 preconstruction meeting.","actionData","errors"]
