Committee reviews park maintenance needs; staff reports strong turnout for Kids Fest and trunk or treat
Summary
Committee members raised maintenance concerns including faded boat‑trailer pavement markings and recurring downed windscreens at pickleball courts; staff reported Kids Fest exceeded expectations and trunk or treat drew large participation with contributions from local groups.
Committee members used the park‑updates portion of the meeting to flag several maintenance issues and for staff to recap recent recreation events.
Members said pavement markings at the Main Street boat ramp that designate boat‑trailer parking are faded and need repainting. Committee members also discussed windscreens at the pickleball courts that have come down repeatedly; the group debated using heavier ties to secure windscreens but noted stronger ties risk damaging the fence in high wind.
A member asked whether Hardy Park bathrooms should have cameras to address nighttime activity; staff said there are cameras at some parks and the committee asked staff to follow up as appropriate.
Recreation staff Grace reported that Kids Fest exceeded expectations and that the trunk‑or‑treat event was well attended. Grace said the trunk‑or‑treat featured about 70 individual costume entrants and 16 group entries; she thanked the Treasure Coast Jeep Club for its support. Staff indicated Kids Fest will be scheduled as an annual event and the committee agreed to continue supporting community programming.
Committee members also discussed minor maintenance such as replacing faded pavement markings, repairing windscreens and monitoring storm damage to fencing. No formal motions were recorded on these maintenance items; staff will follow up.
