Centricom offers 25–50 volunteers for cemetery and park projects; council to coordinate date
Summary
A Centricom representative offered the company's annual community-service crew to assist with Eureka projects; council members suggested cemetery cleanup and park repairs and agreed to follow up on scheduling and scope.
A Centricom representative told the council the company typically sends 25–50 employees for a four-hour community service project in spring or fall and asked whether the city had a project the group could do.
Council members suggested the historic cemetery and park projects — cleaning weeds, repairing fences, replacing picnic tables or benches and hauling debris. They discussed aligning a volunteer date with the city’s Memorial Day or Jubilee calendar and with a planned recreation committee cleanup; logistics discussed included truck/trailer support from local residents for debris hauling and identifying three priority tasks for volunteers.
Council members asked for a week to confirm a preferred date and to coordinate the volunteer scope with city staff. A city representative offered to exchange contact information and to follow up with the volunteer organizer. No formal vote was taken; council members expressed appreciation for Centricom’s offer and indicated they would return with a recommended project and date.
Ending: Council will follow up with Centricom and city staff to choose a project, coordinate logistics (trash removal, equipment, timing) and confirm whether the work should occur before Memorial Day or during a fall date.
