Residents raise tree loss, zoning and handout requests during public comment
Summary
Public commenters asked the board about a lost tree at Centennial Park, a zoning map that appears to place a community garden in a single-family housing zone, requested waived rental fees for Boy Scouts, and asked for meeting handouts to be available in advance.
During the citizen-participation portion of the meeting, resident Osha Morningstar raised multiple concerns: a lost tree in Centennial Park, a zoning map she said places the community garden in a single‑family housing zone, a question about waiving rental fees for Boy Scouts, a suggestion that commissioners carry specific public-facing responsibilities, and a request that handouts be available before meetings.
Another resident, Stacy Ashcroft, requested that West Plains Little League be allowed to place a “No Dogs” sign inside the fenced Salnave fields to prevent dog waste on the playing surfaces. The board later approved that signage as an action item.
The minutes do not record staff responses to Morningstar’s zoning or fee questions in this segment.
