Banquet hall to reopen Jan. 5; caretaker offer pending background check
Summary
Parks staff offered a lodge caretaker position (background check pending) and the board set lobby and banquet‑hall hours: lobby access and the banquet hall will be available 8 a.m.–4 p.m., Wednesday–Sunday starting Jan. 5; fireplace access will be restricted for safety.
Parks staff told trustees they have offered a lodge caretaker position to an individual who is undergoing a background check and will not start until after Jan. 1. The board discussed whether the banquet hall should remain closed until the caretaker starts and resolved to open the lobby and the banquet hall on a limited schedule beginning Jan. 5.
Staff said the lobby will be open during daylight hours and would continue to allow restroom and water‑fountain access. Beginning Jan. 5, the banquet hall will be available 8 a.m.–4 p.m., Wednesday through Sunday, with staff opening and closing the facility on scheduled days. Trustees emphasized that the fireplace will remain off to avoid safety issues because the hall lacks interior camera coverage.
Staff said weekend access outside staffing hours would impose added responsibility on staff on duty and that caretaking duties will be covered by the new hire and staff schedules once the caretaker begins.
