New parks chair seeks community input on trails, fundraising and a xylophone feature
Summary
Mrs. Manley, appointed chair of Parks and Recreation, proposed polling students and residents on park features, creating a 'trail fund' from local restaurant discount days and volunteering, and discussed gate installation and where to place a community xylophone. Treasurer Hartmann will check with the state auditor on donation allocation.
Mrs. Manley, newly appointed to chair the Parks and Recreation board, told the council she intends to gather community input — including polling elementary and middle school students and residents — on potential park amenities. She proposed a volunteer trail-cleanup program and suggested local restaurants could host discount days with proceeds directed to a 'trail fund' to finance improvements.
Council members discussed logistics: where to place a donated xylophone, installing two gates at park entrances to limit motor-vehicle access after dusk, and checking with the state auditor’s office about how donations would be allocated and deposited. Treasurer Angie Hartmann was asked to consult the auditor’s office about the appropriate handling of these funds.
