Commission sets lead volunteers and logistics for May 17 parks cleanup
Summary
Commissioners assigned four lead parks for the citywide cleanup on May 17, arranged supplies pickup and confirmed public works will collect filled bags at 12:30 p.m.
The commission set a plan for the citywide parks cleanup on May 17 and assigned lead commissioners to four parks. Staff said the event will run 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., with public works collecting filled bags at 12:30 p.m. Bags and gloves will be available for commissioners to pick up at City Hall the Friday before the event.
Why it matters: the commission cannot staff every park simultaneously and decided to recommend four parks as primary sites to attract volunteers and provide point contacts.
Assignments and logistics: commissioners confirmed volunteer leads as Ingrid Kohler at Silver Lake (coordinate with the Silver Lake Association), Dave (David Andren) at Southwood, Ben Hansen at Casey, and Rachel Lucas at Northwood. Commissioners agreed to encourage volunteers to work at other parks if they prefer smaller sites; public works will check additional parks and collect trash bags after the event. Staff will provide maps for leads and asked that each lead pick up supplies on the Friday before the cleanup.
Public works commitments: staff confirmed public works will swing by recommended parks and pick up collected bags at 12:30 p.m.; commissioners will be responsible for picking up supply bags Friday before the event.
Ending: staff will circulate an updated event sheet with volunteer sign-ups and a visualization showing where additional help is needed.
