Westfir reviews park usage, OKs proposed solar speed‑sign placements
Summary
Portal maintenance operator Bill Desser recommended installing a solar speed sign on Westfir Road and relocating another on Westoak Road; the council raised no objections. Desser also reported heavy park use, recommended tracking visitor counts and upgrading a pavilion plug to 30‑amp for events.
The council reviewed a diagram and recommendation from Portal Maintenance Operator Bill Desser to place a solar speed sign on Westfir Road and to relocate an existing sign on Westoak Road to slow traffic approaching city limits. Council members had no objections to the proposed pole locations presented by Desser.
Desser also gave the quarterly Portal Park report, saying the park saw high usage and positive visitor feedback over the past year. He described fall maintenance plans, a proposed ramp to a donated log for the bike pump track, and recommended tracking visitor numbers to support future planning. He noted that the pavilion’s surge safety plug was failing and recommended upgrading to a 30‑amp outlet to meet event power needs.
