Board raises staffing and restroom-security concerns for summer 'Lunch and Learn' program

Members told the board they cannot staff daily 'Lunch and Learn' programming this summer because of work commitments and construction projects; the board discussed continuing to provide the park as a gathering location but emphasized the need to resolve logistical issues first. The chair reported providers may still use the park but that the board must clarify who will open restrooms, empty trash and oversee daily operations if no board member can commit to full-time presence.

The group debated safety and privacy concerns with leaving restrooms open unattended, including past incidents at nearby parks. Board members proposed measures such as minimizing open hours, posting "you are on camera" signage, and exploring low-cost Blink-style cameras as deterrence until a better security solution can be implemented. They agreed to review current camera coverage and revisit the topic at the next meeting.
