Resident urges council to identify who will clear brush behind Dale Park Drive homes, citing wildfire risk
Summary
During public comment a longtime resident said brush behind homes near a construction site had not been maintained, expressed concern about fire risk and asked the city who is responsible for clearing the area; staff offered to follow up with the speaker after the meeting.
A resident raised public-safety concerns during oral communications, saying brush behind homes on Dale Park Drive adjacent to a development has not been cleared and asking who is responsible for maintenance.
The speaker said a catch basin installed for the project provides a concrete fuel break but that surrounding brush remains overgrown and has not been regularly cleared since the property changed hands. Citing recent fires in nearby communities, the resident asked the city to clarify maintenance responsibility—whether it is county, city or private—and urged action because of the fire risk.
Council and staff acknowledged the concern and indicated someone would meet with the resident after the meeting to discuss next steps.
