Commission members and staff discussed safety and maintenance at Pocono Park, including volunteer offers to disc and regrade the field after football season and plans to consult the head of Public Works about next steps.
A commission member raised concerns about the condition of Pocono Park and proposed regrading and discing the field now that the football season is ending. The commissioner said volunteers are available to help and recalled a prior effort that temporarily improved field safety without reseeding.
Staff said they would reach out to David, the head of Public Works, to discuss feasibility and next steps. Commissioners discussed ongoing maintenance needs, the return of gophers after grading, and whether the work would require contracting or could be managed by volunteers with Public Works oversight.
No formal motion or vote was recorded; the discussion concluded with staff agreeing to contact Public Works and to explore volunteer coordination so the field can regrow before the next season.
