Staff seek temporary landscaping help while crew member recovers from injury

Monte Rio Recreation & Park District Facilities and Safety Committee · February 4, 2026

Summary

Park Supervisor Leslie Hofelich told the committee routine maintenance continues but asked about hiring a landscaping company to help while employee Nick Thayer is off work with a job-related injury.

Park Supervisor Leslie Hofelich told the Facilities and Safety Committee routine maintenance and landscaping tasks continue daily, but asked about hiring a landscaping company to assist while crew member Nick Thayer is off work due to a job-related injury. The committee discussed potential short-term contracting to cover tasks and maintain schedules.

Leslie also reported staff is coordinating with Sonoma Coast Builders to replace and relocate the lower beach gate lock and is seeking a third bid for repaving and striping the tennis courts. Committee members noted repeated dangerous driving incidents in the parking lots and said that obtaining a license plate would allow reporting to law enforcement.

Why it matters: staffing gaps can delay routine maintenance and small capital work; committee direction to pursue temporary help aims to keep park facilities safe and operable.
