A commissioner who works with local volunteer habitat-restoration efforts offered to coordinate with the city to create a maintenance plan for parks, including Oystershell Park, and to circulate funding sources and best-practice guidance. The speaker said volunteers have worked in the park and that having a clear written plan makes it easier for volunteers and contractors to integrate new technology or techniques.
