Council sets lagoon access policy, hears park and permit updates

Jun 9, 2026

Stanhope council agreed June 9 that council members will be issued lagoon keys for after-hours access and will record who receives access; the meeting also included updates on park repairs, building permits and public-safety equipment.

The full story

Gary Northrop told the council he was concerned that a replaced lock on the Stanhope Lagoon limited weekend and after-hours access for residents.

City Clerk Jori Young noted Public Works employee Tim Dally has final authority over what may be disposed of at the lagoon.
