Council discusses parks upgrades, concession repairs and Atomic Road well transmitter failure
Summary
Councilmembers reviewed repairs and upgrades including Thornton Park tennis resurfacing (with pickleball netting and contingency), use of SRS Settlement Funds for an old concession stand repair, Town Hall camera replacement options, and a failed transmitter at the Atomic Road well with staff evaluating a 6-channel upgrade or SCADA conversion.
Councilmember Willingham led discussion of parks and facility needs, including a proposed amendment to the Thornton Park tennis court resurfacing quote to add adjustable pickleball netting and a 5% contingency; funding was described as 80% PARD grant and 20% CPST4. He also described plans to use SRS Settlement Funds to repair the old concession stand, saying that such use aligns with the Town’s Business Grant Guidelines.
Council discussed replacing Town Hall surveillance cameras after concerns about the system’s condition, and council received an update from Councilmember Teuton that the Atomic Road well radio transmitter has failed. Staff outlined options for the well site, including a 6-channel upgrade or migrating to a SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) system; costs and implementation details will be reviewed. Councilmember Willingham also gave a Parks & Recreation update on Hook & Cook Festival preparations and other park maintenance items.
Next steps: Several items were recorded as agenda discussion items with council asking staff to obtain quotes and continue evaluation; no formal procurement or binding decisions were made at the work session.
