Summary

Council approved continued purchases of Team Labs pond chemicals, authorized a $2,500 flow meter replacement for the lift station, noted a possible campground water leak to be investigated by staff, and recorded park preparations including new picnic tables and aggregate spread for ball fields.

Maintenance reports described an ongoing pond-treatment program using Team Labs chemicals and an active windmill in pond 1 to reduce sludge; council approved continued purchases and asked the Finance Officer to include the expense in the annual budget (Action 26-031).

A failed flow meter at the lift station prompted Hydro Tech service; council approved purchasing a replacement meter for $2,500, with installation to be performed by city maintenance staff (Action 26-032). Maintenance also reported a possible water leak near the campground host driveway after a staff member removed a pipe cap and observed ice buildup; the staff member (named Josh in the minutes) will investigate as conditions thaw. Parks staff assembled and placed new picnic tables and spread aggregate on ball fields in preparation for the summer season; excess pink rock in a parking lot was made available to the public.
