Residents voice mixed views during splash pad hearing
Summary
During the CDBG splash pad public hearing residents both supported the proposal and submitted a written objection; council members addressed safety and timing concerns before voting to apply for the grant.
During the public hearing on the proposed splash pad, Rose Mary Saunders noted a written objection: "an email was sent in that was not in favor of the Splash Pad and the email will be put in the file as per required by law." That written objection was formally entered into the record for the grant application.
Several residents spoke in support of the splash pad, including Gladys Wall, Daisy Miller, Crisanne Thompson, and Gick Fleming. Concerns were raised about user safety: Kyle W. Dawson said he was "concerned about falls and injuries," and Councilmember Kyle Hrabe responded that "there are splash pads all over and other equipment that have that risk also." The council considered those comments before voting the CDBG resolutions forward.
