Public works reports weed control, tree plantings and scheduled goat grazing for fire abatement
Summary
Public works summarized recent maintenance work (weed and foxtail removal, three new street trees planted), fire‑abatement pruning and scheduled goat grazing for targeted vegetation reduction ahead of July 4.
Public Works Supervisor Nick Milosevic reported that crews focused on weed control and foxtail removal across parks, completed low‑limb pruning to improve sight lines, and planted three new trees (a live oak, a crepe myrtle and a dogwood). Milosevic highlighted maintenance tasks that improve safety and aesthetics across city parks.
Milosevic also confirmed that contracted fire‑abatement work behind the corporation yard is complete and that targeted grazing with goats is scheduled to begin about a week before July 4 for roughly 7–10 days. "The goats are on their way," he said. Staff noted grazing is part of routine fuel‑management tools used to reduce dead and low vegetation in steep or difficult‑to‑access areas.
