Board asks staff to pursue Audubon lighting and consider cameras for Spring Creek Forest
Summary
Board members raised safety concerns about poor lighting at Audubon Recreation Center and recommended staff submit lighting to the CIP portal; a request was also made to examine camera options for Spring Creek Forest, though staff noted electricity and funding constraints.
Board members raised park security and lighting as future agenda items, citing a poorly lit parking lot at Audubon Recreation Center and visibility concerns at Spring Creek Forest Reserve. Board member Jerry described the Audubon lot as “so poorly lit” that it affected perceived safety and asked staff to pursue short‑term improvements.
Staff responded that they would submit an Audubon lighting request into the CIP portal immediately for consideration and would report back in May on funding availability. On Spring Creek Forest cameras, staff noted the lack of nearby electricity and that camera funding and installation would require further review; they said they would keep a security item on future agendas and provide a status update when more information was available.
Ending
The board requested a standing security/lighting update on future agendas and asked staff to place Audubon lighting into the CIP submission process.
