Park & Rec urges help with weeds; council agrees $13,000 toward new fencing
Summary
Park & Rec representative Heidi Portner told council about weeds in the playground and lack of storage for maintenance supplies; council agreed the city's $13,000 donation could be used as a down payment for proposed fencing projects.
Heidi Portner, the Park & Rec representative, described persistent weeds and thistles in the playground area and under the bleachers, and she said volunteers lack secure storage for maintenance supplies. Portner told council there is "nowhere to store it because the equipment shed is too small and there’s food and kids in the pop shack," and asked for help resolving storage and maintenance supply access.
Councilors discussed options including allowing Park & Rec to use a pump sprayer and chemicals for maintenance and agreed that contractors could start fencing projects with the $13,000 city donation. Council directed staff to include fencing proposals and budget planning on upcoming agendas to move the project forward.
