Lengby requests Polk County patrols at Spring Lake Park, pursues new garbage cans
Summary
Council asked the city clerk to request Polk County Sheriff’s Department patrols at Spring Lake Park after reports of roughhousing at the beach, and authorized staff to get quotes from Barco for garbage cans for the park.
Council members raised public-safety concerns about roughhousing at the Spring Lake Park beach during the June 9 meeting. City Clerk-Treasurer Rosanne Erickson said she will contact the Polk County Sheriff’s Department and ask that deputies make rounds at Spring Lake Park, particularly on weekend afternoons.
Separately, Erickson reported she is working with Barco on a quote for new garbage cans for the site, including shipping and sales-tax considerations. The council did not vote on procurement at the meeting; obtaining a quote and pricing was the recorded next step.
The clerk’s outreach to county law enforcement and the Barco quote are the immediate actions recorded in the minutes; the council directed staff to return with details rather than making a procurement decision at this meeting.
