Summary
Public‑works staff reported recent operations: staff planted roughly 22 trees, planted about 16,000 bulbs citywide, pruned roughly 500 rose bushes, and responded to storm events (six storm‑drain lids popped off during heavy rain); crews also supported seasonal events like the turkey trot and tree lighting.
Public‑works staff delivered an operational report covering recent planting, event support and storm response. The crew said they planted about 22 trees over the last two months (including oaks, dogwoods and maples), pruned approximately 500 rose bushes across civic planting areas and supported the turkey‑trot and tree‑lighting events with barricade and lighting work.
Nick, the public‑works presenter, said the crew picked up an order of "over 16,000 bulbs" for fall plantings and described intensive storm patrols when heavy rains caused six storm‑drain lids to pop off in town. He also noted the crew is monitoring soil moisture to determine if irrigation needs to be reactivated and described ongoing maintenance priorities for lawns and park safety.
