DPW outlines park improvements, reports staffing shortfall and recent work at Lodal Park
Summary
DPW Superintendent Jeff DeMuri said crews removed trees and completed topographic imaging for the seven-acre Lodal Park parcel, removed stairs at Terrace/Park Hill, and that the department is struggling to hire summer workers.
DPW Superintendent Jeff DeMuri told the committee the department has committed to several park improvements for the summer, including tree removal and topographic imaging of the seven-acre parcel at Lodal Park to inform leveling work. He said crews removed stairs at Terrace/Park Hill as requested.
DeMuri also reported staffing challenges: "The DPW has been having a hard time finding summer workers this year." Committee members discussed the expiring CUPPAD Parks and Recreation Plan and whether to pursue a new plan in conjunction with future grant applications; Ken Wood suggested a resident survey to gather input on priorities.
