Resident raises lead paint concerns at North Barlow Street Water Park Reservoir; requests testing and mitigation timeline
Summary
A Cornelius resident submitted materials and urged the council to address possible lead paint at the North Barlow Street Water Park Reservoir, requesting temporary containment, independent soil testing near recreational and childcare areas, and a public mitigation timeline.
Jennifer Cimperman, a Cornelius resident, used the public-comment period at the June 1 council meeting to raise concerns about potential lead paint conditions at the North Barlow Street Water Park Reservoir.
Cimperman submitted a packet for the record and urged increased transparency from the city. She asked the council and staff to implement temporary containment measures, commission independent soil testing in areas adjacent to recreation spaces and childcare locations, and publish a public timeline for mitigation efforts.
Mayor Jeffrey Dalin noted receipt of community feedback during reports and requested a future staff update regarding concerns raised at the meeting. City staff did not record a direct response or commitment to a specific mitigation schedule during the meeting; the mayor’s request signals that staff will follow up.
The comment was entered into the record; no formal action or vote on testing or remediation occurred at the June 1 meeting. Next procedural step: Mayor requested staff follow up and provide an update to council on the Water Park Reservoir concerns.
