Resident raises poison oak and drainage concerns at Veneta parks; staff to notify Public Works
Summary
A resident told the Park Board that poison oak appears in several parks and that a storm drain near Fern Park is holding standing water and breeding mosquitoes; staff said they will notify Public Works and the Public Works Director.
Resident Erin McKay reported poison oak at Fern Park and a small dog park, warned that dogs can carry urushiol on fur, and offered to assist with removal. Ms. McKay also identified a storm drain near the Fern Park porta-potty that holds standing water and contributes to local mosquito problems.
CDD Kevin Urban said park maintenance is a City staff responsibility and committed to notifying Public Works Director Schauer to address both the drainage issue and the poison oak locations. The Board did not take formal action but directed staff to raise the issues with Public Works.
