Residents praise RV Park improvements and raise safety concerns at Triangle Park; Frisbee-golf maintenance requested
Summary
Public commenters thanked the city for RV Park upgrades, urged maintenance of the local Frisbee Golf Course, and expressed safety concerns that parents are avoiding Triangle Park because of teenagers smoking and climbing on ski chairs; the council heard these concerns during audience comments on April 15.
Several residents used the audience-comment period at the April 15 Chewelah City Council meeting to raise parks and public-safety concerns and to thank the city for recent improvements. Ela Short thanked the city for RV Park improvements but said she has "heard that parents aren't taking their kids to Triangle Park because of teenagers smoking pot," and she also voiced concern about teenagers climbing on ski chairs.
Teige Veneman asked the city again to maintain the Frisbee Golf Course. These remarks were made as public comment; the minutes record the concerns and maintenance request but do not record a formal council referral, a staff assignment, or an enforcement action. City Administrator Tonya Wallace’s operations report later noted restroom upgrades and campground cleanup among ongoing maintenance efforts.
The comments indicate community concern about park use and juvenile behavior; the minutes show these topics were raised publicly but do not record any immediate enforcement or policy change.
