Commission picks July 11 for Friends of the Park cleanup, discusses combining it with 'Get Out and Play'
Summary
Staff asked commissioners to help plan summer activities and relaunch a 'Friends of the Park' cleanup; commissioners selected July 11 as the preferred cleanup date and discussed pairing the cleanup with a family-oriented 'Get Out and Play' event.
Staff asked commissioners and community members to help plan summer-season activities and proposed a volunteer cleanup to relaunch a Friends of the Park program, offering dates including June 27 and July 11.
Commissioners and residents discussed logistics and suggested pairing the morning cleanup with afternoon family activities. One resident suggested aligning the cleanup with other community events, and commissioners agreed that July 11 would give more time for planning and fall closer to the town's Annie Mary day activities. A staff reader described the department's available equipment (an inflatable movie screen, microphone and speaker system) and asked interested volunteers to email the director or call city hall to leave contact information.
The commission asked for feedback on the cleanup plan and sign-up details; staff will coordinate notices and confirm volunteer roles in advance of the selected July 11 date.
