Greenwood staff preview tree lighting, public-works progress and police updates
Summary
Parks and Rec. promoted the mayor's tree-lighting event (Saturday, 4–6 p.m.); public works reported sidewalks, asphalt work and winter salt stockpiling; the police chief said tasers arrived and Officer Jones returned to duty.
Council received routine department reports covering community events, maintenance work and police programming.
Parks and Rec staff encouraged residents to attend the mayor's tree-lighting event Saturday from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., featuring Santa, cookies donated by Whataburger and Greenwood Elementary carolers. Public works staff reported pouring a concrete pad for a future historic railroad building, completing sidewalk repairs, performing milling and paving work, and acquiring about 60 tons of salt for winter operations.
Police leadership said Officer Jones returned to full duty and that new tasers have arrived after a two-year gap; the chief also described holiday outreach including a gift tree and officer-read book sessions for children. Administration staff noted Carrie Carlson began work as the city’s new finance specialist and reminded the public of two in-person “think tank” meetings slated for Jan. 31 and Feb. 1 for resident input on upcoming plans.
What happens next: event planning continues for the tree lighting; staff will proceed with maintenance and deployment plans for winter readiness.
