Commissioners discussed installing a secured, lockable corkboard at the east end of the new boardwalk along Coal Creek Parkway to display city event notices and trail maps. The proposal seeks a low‑cost, weatherproof frame similar to the existing locked boards at Lakebourne Park.

The nut graf: Commissioners said the boardwalk site is highly visible and could help the city promote events and provide trail maps; they asked staff to pursue options, clarify maintenance and access, and report back with costs and installation details.

Commissioner comments focused on practical issues: who would control access to the board, how frequently it would be updated and whether a second board near the restroom building or poetry wall would be preferable. Staff said the current wooden stanchion is empty and not waterproof and recommended a sealed, lockable aluminum frame like the city uses at other park locations.

The commission agreed staff should pursue the purchase and installation with the Parks & Public Works departments and return with a recommended location, cost estimate and a small maintenance plan. There was no motion or vote recorded; the discussion concluded with multiple commissioners expressing support for moving the idea forward.
