Council approves warrants and hears updates on parks, cemetery, water and mosquito abatement
Summary
Council read and approved a $148,485.80 warrant list and heard department reports: parks roof bids and slide installation, cemetery irrigation/maintenance needs, water-system monitoring and overflow, and mosquito abatement plans using drones and no-spray opt-outs.
Council member Peterson read the warrant list totaling $148,485.80 and council voted to approve it by roll call on Aug. 5. The warrant covered administration, law enforcement, fire and rescue, roads, parks, water, and perpetual care funds.
Council members reported parks and recreation needs — a $5,000 roof/shingle bid for the Pony Express structure and confirmation that a new playground slide is in place — and cemetery maintenance needs, including irrigation-head replacements and turf repairs. Mayor Thompson provided an update on mosquito abatement: the regional agency uses drones in swamps and Clarkston is scheduled for Wednesday sprays subject to wind- and temperature-related limits; residents can file annual 'no-spray' forms but the no-spray rule does not exempt an area if West Nile virus is detected in local traps.
