Commission questions Public Works funding for pathway maintenance and weed controls
Summary
Commissioners raised concerns that Public Works may lack funds for weed‑and‑feed treatments; they discussed coordinating with city staff, using spreaders vs. sprayers, and contacting Malachi/Alex to confirm available supplies and spraying plans.
Commissioners discussed the condition of cemetery pathways and whether city Public Works has funds to supply weed‑and‑feed spraying and maintenance.
A commissioner reported that Public Works staff told them crews had run out of funds for weed‑and‑feed and that the chief of staff warned of gloomy budget prospects. Members described past manual spreading and contrasted it with spraying, which uses less time but requires a sprayer and hose. One commissioner said they would check with Malachi and Alex about available bags of weed‑and‑feed and whether spraying could be scheduled; the clerk noted Public Works authority and possible alternatives for enforcement or maintenance.
The group did not make a formal funding commitment but agreed to follow up with Public Works staff to determine whether available supplies or spraying support could be scheduled.
