Summary

Public works said the lake park is ready to open after maintenance; staff plan to certify a third pool operator and to add cameras once a contractor installs internet at the pool building.

Public works told the council the lake park is ready to reopen after mowing and cleanup, though staff will monitor for late cold weather and can shut off water if needed.

Staff also said two employees are certified pool operators and that they hope to reach three certified operators. Contractors will install internet at the pool building as part of a contract addendum; once that work is finished the city plans to install cameras and change locks to secure the facility.

The department outlined repairs to park facilities damaged by flooding, including volleyball-court rebuilding and replacing worn basketball backboards.
