parks to be a high priority.
CM Corbin responded that funds will be set aside for the installation of bike racks at
each park.
Mayor Glasser expressed the need to be aware of the space and not stuff parks too
full. She responded to public comments and reported the City put in a work order to
replace the mailbox at Waters Park. She inquired whether the proposed purchase of the
Lilly Street parcel has been before the Environmental Stewardship Committee (ESC).
PCDD Askew reported at its last meeting the ESC voted to recommend the
Commission to purchase the parcel.
Discussion ensued regarding, additional bike racks (10), bathroom at Veterans Park,
and increase parking.
PW Director Scott Williams responded that parking for Jordan Park could easily be
done in-house for approximately $10,000.
Commission requested add benches. Mayor Glasser suggested sponsorship of
memorial benches.
Commissioner Kelly requested add the pickleball court.
