Council discusses using correctional crew for park upkeep and other maintenance needs
Summary
Members discussed whether the town can continue using a community corrections crew for weed-eating and spreading mulch and noted uncertainty about current arrangements.
Council members reviewed park maintenance tasks including weed-eating, trash pickup and who will handle ongoing upkeep; the possibility of scheduling the community correctional crew was discussed but members were unsure whether the town still utilizes that workforce. "Because I know when Bill used to get the correctional crew for us, they used to take care of that, but we're not utilizing Bill with the correctional crew anymore," a member said, urging someone to confirm whether that resource remains available.
Participants said trash cans and other amenities are difficult to maintain without a public works employee to empty them regularly; until staffing improves the council recommended carry-in/carry-out messaging and limited additions to the park.
