Tom Tackett, maintenance superintendent, updated the Anderson City Parks Board on Dec. 2 that construction of new restrooms at Warren Miller Park has started and progress is on track despite weather delays. "The old restrooms have been demoed. New footers have been dug and poured for the new restrooms, and the concrete blocks have been laid from the footers to the floor level," Tackett said, adding the site is now ready for plumbing and electrical rough-in.

Tackett also reported on Dickman Town Center holiday preparations. He said the holiday setup is complete and the ice rink opened for the Thanksgiving holiday and was well attended over the holiday period, though attendance has been lighter since as temperatures fell.

Tackett confirmed flower baskets were hung on Nov. 22 and invited board members to raise any questions. No formal board action was taken; members thanked Tackett and wished staff happy holidays.

Next steps: Tackett said plumbing and electrical rough-in would proceed and he offered to answer follow-up questions from board members.
