Committee reviews parks, trails and historic-tour materials; requests Spanish translations and improved access

Committee members reviewed town park and trail information and identified gaps in Spanish-language materials, restroom access and digital translations for a historic-sites tour. One committee member noted web listings omit some parks (she referenced a south-of-town park not yet updated on the town site) and asked staff to check which parks are town-owned vs. county-owned.

Speakers asked for more Spanish-language and audio options for the historic Clio tour site and recommended QR-code flyers, printed bilingual brochures and occasional in-person copies for residents who do not use digital tools. "La misif3n es a lo mejor que pongan ingle9s y espaf1ol," one participant said of the historic-tour material. The committee discussed practical barriers: phone-language settings, dialect differences and older adults who prefer WhatsApp or print rather than email.

Members also raised amenities: the absence of restrooms at some river-access parks and recent improvements such as a new ramp and bilingual signs at a river-launch area. Committee members asked the director of planning to clarify restroom plans, and staff agreed to ask the director about translation and printing options for the town—s mobility and transportation plan, which includes a roundabout on Highway 133 near City Market.

Ending: Staff said she would circulate draft materials for committee review, ask which park facilities are town vs. county responsibility, and return with recommendations at the next meeting so printed bilingual materials can be prepared before summer events.
