Summary

Council members discussed why trail restrooms remain closed, liability issues for snow removal, and whether a Kubota with a plow or a plow attachment could be procured or shared to help clear cemetery and parking areas; no purchase decision was made.

Council members raised the repeated problem that the trail restrooms appear functional but remain closed due to drainage or maintenance issues. One council member asked whether the restroom mister could simply be removed or whether a basic water hose could serve seasonally while repairs are planned.

The group then discussed equipment options for snow removal, including whether a Kubota with a plow or a plow attachment could be used to clear the cemetery, parking lot and trail access points. Cost-sharing and phased purchase options were mentioned; no formal procurement decision or budget allocation took place at the meeting.
