Council approves Lions Club rock garden and short sidewalk extension at Leffingwell Park
Summary
Council approved a partnership with the Lions Club and Huachuca City School to create a rock-lined path at Leffingwell Park; the town will contribute approximately $800 to extend the sidewalk between the school and library while students paint rocks to line the path.
The Huachuca City Council unanimously approved a Lions Club proposal to build a rock garden/path at Leffingwell Park, a collaboration that will include Huachuca City School students painting rocks to line the route.
Town Manager Suzanne Harvey described the project as a three-way collaboration among the Lions Club, the school and the Town, and said the town would spend "approximately $800.00 to extend the sidewalk between the School and the Library using edging and millings." Councilmember Cynthia Butterworth seconded the motion to approve, and the motion passed unanimously.
The project is primarily a small capital and volunteer effort intended to improve pedestrian connection and park aesthetics; the town contribution will fund sidewalk edging and recycled millings rather than new poured concrete. Council provided approval during the meeting and did not attach additional funding or conditions to the motion.
Council did not schedule a separate vote or public hearing on the item; implementation details and the volunteers' roles will be coordinated among the Lions Club, the school and town staff.
