Summary

Board and staff honored Barbara Butterfield, a parks admin technician retiring Feb. 27 after more than a decade with the district, with multiple speakers thanking her institutional knowledge and service.

Multiple staff and directors used the public-comment period to thank Barbara Butterfield for her service and to wish her well in retirement. Parks staff and managers described Butterfield as a long-serving member of the district team and an essential colleague who helped keep daily operations running. "Barb has been the glue that has kept the parts department together, in my personal observation," said Dustin John, who said he has worked in the parks department for almost five years.

Parks and facility staff echoed that praise. Kaye Burnson, who identified herself as "parks and facility superintendent," said Butterfield was "the most organized person" and would be missed. The board acknowledged Butterfield's last day is Feb. 27 and thanked her for 12 years as a parks admin tech. Staff said recruitment to fill the role is underway and that a new admin tech introduction is expected at the March meeting.
