Lanark delays playground construction, discusses cameras and community donations
Summary
Council reviewed playground improvements and decided not to rush installation before Old Settlers; mulch and safety mats installed, the Lions Club and Eastland Junior High Student Council offered assistance and a storage box donation, and the council discussed surveillance camera legal questions.
Council members agreed to delay final playground installation to ensure measurements and surface preparation are correct rather than expedite work for an upcoming Old Settlers event. Mulch and safety mats already installed were described as looking "very good," and the council planned to purchase a cozy dome and safety tiles once surfacing needs were determined.
The Lions Club volunteered to assess additional park needs at the shelter house, and Eastland Junior High Student Council offered to donate a storage box for equipment. Members also discussed park surveillance cameras, including legal considerations for video and audio recording and necessary signage, but decided against adding fencing around the play area at this time.
