Commission approves minutes; trail bid, ADA swing and splash‑park testing reported; Arbor Day announced
Summary
The commission approved its minutes, received project updates on the Nisqually River trail bid and park amenities, and heard a tree‑board announcement about an April 25 Arbor Day celebration.
The Yelm Planning Commission approved minutes from its prior meeting, heard brief project updates and announcements, and adjourned April 15.
Commissioners voted to approve the minutes from the last meeting by voice vote early in the session; the vote was recorded as "Aye" and the chair declared the minutes approved. In reports, a commissioner said the trail project to extend the trail across the Nisqually River bridge is scheduled to go to bid this Thursday and that once bids and inspections are underway staff will have a clearer construction timeline.
A commissioner reported that an ADA‑accessible swing has been installed through a collaborative effort between the city and local groups and that the splash park will be tested over the coming weeks (the speaker noted Memorial Day weekend as a likely time for broader public access). A tree‑board representative announced the 29th annual Arbor Day celebration scheduled for Friday, April 25 at 6 p.m. at the community center; the event will include musical performers and an art contest.
The commission later approved a motion to adjourn by voice vote.
