During public comment several residents said visitors who came to see the springs' historic bathtub feature were underwhelmed and encouraged the council to explore improvements. One resident said families from Washington, D.C., visited recently and "weren't very impressed with it," and other speakers suggested the State Park Foundation might be a partner for enhancement work.
Council members discussed using pavers to create a firmer concert platform and said longer-term projects are on the parks' long-range list. The chair closed public comment after the discussion and asked for consent to adjourn.
