Council discusses park path grant possibility, equipment needs and public-works policy
Summary
Council members discussed pursuing a grant for a walking path around the park and whether to buy equipment that also handles snow, and requested a future work session to explore an on-call policy for public works; staff monitoring during storms was also noted.
Council Member Combe relayed a suggestion from a resident, Mr. Burton, that a grant to build a walking path around the park could make purchasing a mower that can also push snow worthwhile. Combe said the suggestion tied capital improvements to multi-season equipment needs.
Council Member Bell asked to schedule a future work session to examine on-call policies for public works and research practices used by other cities. Council Member Combe added that public works staff check cameras hourly during storms. Mayor Cutler urged residents to attend meetings and asked the public to "tone down the rhetoric," saying the council wanted to provide the information people need.
No formal action was taken on the park, equipment purchases, or the on-call policy at this meeting; council members asked staff to research options and bring findings to a future work session.
