Herriman announces community classes, concert and urgent need for crossing‑guard substitutes
Summary
The podcast highlighted a free Localscapes class from Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District, a Herriman Jazz Project concert, the ice rink's seasonal closure, and an urgent city request for crossing‑guard substitutes with application details on harriman.gov.
Herriman's podcast hosts used the episode to flag several community items and a staffing shortfall. John LaFollette promoted a free Localscapes class from the Jordan Valley Water Conservancy District intended to help residents convert turf to water‑wise landscaping and directed listeners to on‑demand resources on the district's website. He also invited the public to a free Herriman Jazz Project concert on Monday, Feb. 24 at 7 p.m., and reminded listeners that the ice rink schedule runs through Feb. 28.
On staffing, both hosts said the city urgently needs crossing‑guard substitutes. LaFollette described the duties as short daily shifts ("30 to 60 minutes in the morning, 36 minutes in the afternoon" per the transcript) and pointed listeners to harriman.gov (search human resources or job application) to apply or use the site's virtual chat agent. Mayor Palmer emphasized the need for help: "we're desperate right now honestly, so we need some bodies." The podcast did not provide pay rates or the exact number of openings; listeners were told to consult the city's HR page for details.
Why it matters: crossing guards are a public‑safety function for students and families during school arrival and dismissal. The Localscapes class and the jazz concert are part of city efforts to promote conservation and community arts programming.
Next steps: interested applicants should apply through harriman.gov; the city communications office can provide current pay rates and the number of open positions.
