Board approves $1,900 removal of diseased trees at Peace Memorial Park; ballpark work deferred
Summary
The Lake Hallie Parks Commission approved removal of diseased trees at Peace Memorial Park for $1,900 and postponed tree work at Hallie Ball Park pending additional bids and a June follow‑up.
The Parks, Recreation and Tourism Commission voted May 12 to remove diseased trees at Peace Memorial Park at a cost of $1,900.
Becky moved to approve the removal and Mark seconded; the motion carried with no objections. The board specifically voted to hold off on tree removal at Hallie Ball Park while Jayson seeks additional bids and considers a tree‑revamping proposal to be discussed at the June meeting.
Commission members said the work is intended to address safety and health concerns from diseased trees. The minutes record that the Peace Memorial Park removal will proceed while the Ball Park effort will be deferred pending more information and competitive bids. The board also noted discussions about whether to pursue broader exterior renovations at field structures where needed.
Next steps: Jayson will solicit further bids and present options, and the board will revisit the Hallie Ball Park work at its June meeting.
