Council reviewed a request to add footage to the sidewalk at Jones Park's south side and approved paying the additional fee to finish the work. The motion to approve the added cost passed 5-0.
Members also discussed safety at the ballfields, noting the second base on the south field was protruding and posed a hazard; council directed Parks & Rec and staff (Madison Warbritton) to level the area and to add signage such as 'Park at your own risk' or 'Foul ball area' to warn visitors.
No specific contractor or project dates were recorded beyond the instruction for the clerk to obtain additional quotes and for Parks & Rec to proceed with recommended safety fixes.
