Parks staff member Drake said the department took delivery of new playground equipment for Duke Park but delayed installation a few weeks while they seek grant funding for inclusive safety surfacing. “We’ve actually pushed that install out just a little bit. We've applied for some grant funding for, safety surfacing…so it'd be a completely 100% inclusive playground with the…turf, safety surfacing,” Drake said. He also said the Herlanger Park playground installation is complete and that concrete sidewalks and fencing to separate the playground from Union Street will be added.

Drake reported that excavation for a new maintenance building at Duke Park is underway and crews are addressing unstable soil: contractors excavated four feet and are recompacting soil before further work. He said, if the crew can get four dry days in a row, that stage of work could be completed within about a week and construction on the new building would proceed.

Staff also announced that pickleball courts would be closed for a week while fences are painted and signs and court numbers removed for the work; crews began removing items from the fences ahead of painting. Parks staff thanked crews for festival setup and cleanup after a recent Strawberry Festival that proceeded despite rain.

Staff urged residents to complete the parks-and-recreation master-plan survey; Drake said outreach at a recent downtown event and a mayoral social post had boosted awareness. No formal board action was required on the routine status updates.

Lisa Sargent, treasurer of Troy Baseball Parents, said the group received a donation in 2023 and has raised additional funds since then. “We’ve raised additional monies. We’ve been working with Level MB to talk about the plan and, you know, we would be ready to do some work, this maybe fall, if we had the support and permission of the city,” Sargent said. She said Level MB is preparing drawings and that the group expects to solicit bids and seek donations for labor and materials.

Board members responded that they are generally supportive but asked the parents to work through parks staff for guidance and permitting requirements. One board member said the commission has adopted a phased approach on similar projects and recommended the group coordinate with staff and return with drawings and a formal presentation. Jeremy, a parks staff member, asked the parents to provide an updated status and drawings so staff can advise on regulations and the bidding process.

No formal action was taken. The board requested the parents coordinate with Jeremy and return to the board with updated drawings and a project timeline; the board also offered to publicize the renovation effort once plans are formalized.

The donor group will contract locally for the inscription.

The board voted to accept the donation and directed staff to work with maintenance to assemble and install the bench. Staff confirmed the bench has arrived and that placement and final inscription will follow the city’s site-selection and signage guidelines.

No budget appropriation was required because the bench is privately funded; staff said installation will be handled by the maintenance department.

Charlotte Cawley, assistant director of public service safety, told the board that the library’s board raised concerns about a reverter clause in the original deed language that would return the property to the city if future library uses fell outside a narrowly defined list of permitted activities. “The library had some concerns about that, namely that, libraries are, evolving in terms of the programming that they're getting into,” Cawley said. She said the city proposes removing the line that would cause the property to revert to the city so the deed would instead state that the property “shall be used for the use and purpose of promoting nonprofit library educational, extracurricular, and interscholastic activities and other uses incidental and related thereto.”

Board members asked how future non-library uses would be controlled. Cawley said the property would still be subject to the city zoning code and “there would be a full review of anything that they wanted to do that would be outside of those purposes.” She added that the library already has grant funding in place and must complete the purchase under contract terms requiring purchase by the end of 2025.

One board member said they were reluctant to recommend approving the change without a full board present and moved to table the matter to the next meeting so the full commission could consider it. The motion to table passed on a voice vote; all present voted “Aye.” No substantive amendment was adopted; the item will return to the board’s agenda at the next meeting for further consideration.

The board and staff described the action as procedural: the city and library remain in negotiations to complete the sale, but the commission chose to delay a formal recommendation to city council until every commissioner can review the proposed deed language.

Looking ahead, staff said it would be ideal to resolve the deed-language question by the end of the summer but that tabling the matter briefly would not, in staff’s view, necessarily delay the library’s timeline if the parties keep coordinating.
