Lanark tables playground upgrades; council praises new park cameras
Summary
Council tabled a playground-equipment bid revision and discussed potential volunteer and Lions Club involvement; members also praised newly installed park security cameras after footage identified rule violations and aided police contact with parents.
The council directed staff to revise a playground-equipment bid to remove features the committee did not want included and to recontact the vendor. Alderperson Alisha Metz reported interest from volunteers (LCC) for installing parts of the playground pad and dome, and discussed possible Lions Club support for shelter-house improvements; no final contracts or purchases were authorized at the June 2 meeting.
Council members also praised recently installed park security cameras that produced clear footage used to identify individuals violating park rules. Police reported contacting the parents involved after reviewing the footage; members said the upgraded surveillance should deter misconduct and assist law enforcement when necessary.
