Council hears request to spend about $10,000 on safety upgrades at Cliff Park for demolition derby events
Summary
The park board requested roughly $10,000 to buy a steel fence and about 80 concrete blocks to raise barricade height and improve safety for a planned demolition derby; dates discussed included May 3–4 with follow-up scheduling to confirm.
A council member relayed a Parks and Recreation request to spend up to about $10,000 to make safety upgrades at Cliff Park so the venue can host a demolition derby and similar fair events. "The $10,000 is for, for a steel fence to increase the height of the barricades, and it's also for 80 concrete blocks to be purchased," the council member said.
The park board said the improvements would support demolition derbies, truck pulls and other fair uses and would improve safety for participants and spectators. Council members discussed proposed event dates; the transcript references possible dates of May 3–4 for the first demolition derby and other dates (May 23–24) as potential alternates. The council member said they would confirm dates and return with additional details.
The transcript records the park board's request and a council motion to place the funding request in the minutes for consideration, but it does not show a final vote or approval. The item appears tied to park tax or park improvement funds; speakers talked about engineering and logistics for both Table Creek and Cliff Park during the same portion of the meeting.
