Commissioner urges county to address upkeep of Ballard parks
Summary
Commissioner Willis Lefevere told the council money appears to be allocated to new parks in Vernal while existing Ballard city parks lack maintenance; he said he will ask county staff to place the issue on the May 13 county board agenda.
Commissioner Willis Lefevere raised concerns during the Uintah County sheriff and commission reports that maintenance funding for Ballard city parks has been overlooked while new parks in Vernal receive money.
Deputy Pratt provided a routine community-events and incidents update, then Lefevere said residents and council members have expressed “notable frustration” about the parks’ upkeep and that he will contact Joel Brown to request the issue be put on the county board agenda for the May 13 meeting.
The exchange on parks maintenance was presented as a request for administrative follow-up rather than a formal motion; the council did not take a vote on the item at this meeting. The record lists several public attendees who may be affected by park conditions, but no formal public comment or petition was entered into the minutes.
