Council accepts donated equipment and labor for Winolequa Park improvements
Summary
Council unanimously accepted donated services and equipment from Austin Read of Elevated Dirtworks to remove underbrush and improve bank access at Winolequa Park; the donation is services-only, not materials for a fence.
Austin Read, owner of Elevated Dirtworks, offered donated time and equipment to the City of Winlock to remove underbrush in a planned camping area at Winolequa Park and to improve safety along the stream bank. City Attorney Jim Buzzard advised that the provision of equipment and services constitutes a donation that council should formally accept.
Mayor Marincin and councilmembers expressed appreciation for the contribution and noted the donation did not include purchasing materials for a proposed fence above the stream bank. Councilwoman Alishia Hornburg moved to accept Mr. Read's donated volunteer work and equipment for Winolequa Park; Councilman Chuck Camps seconded and the motion carried unanimously.
The acceptance clarifies that the city will coordinate with the donor and staff for scheduling and safety oversight, but no budgetary or materials commitments were made at the meeting.
