Summary

A resident asked the board to increase daily and nightly patrols at Jenkins Park, cited e-bike and trail-bike activity, and supported hiring a parks manager to handle growing maintenance demands.

During privilege of the floor, resident Lynnette Ziskin of Katherine Drive praised the board’s attention to law-enforcement concerns and urged more daily and nightly patrols at Jenkins Park because of heavy activity, including e-bikes and trail bikes. She said park responsibilities have grown and supported hiring a dedicated parks manager.

Ziskin also described her personal contribution to park upkeep, saying she collects empty bottles daily and drops them off at the Animal Protective Foundation once a month. The board did not take immediate action on the request but had earlier discussed park safety and patrol options as part of broader law-enforcement considerations.
