Park

Jennifer Geib and two city workers waited for the delivery of the new playset March 28. It did not arrive and there was miscommunication on the company’s part. The playset arrived on Monday, April 1, 2024, but it was not in the correct colors. Geib contacted the company and they were willing to remake the set in the correct colors that were in the order submitted. Board members voted to reorder the playset in the correct colors.

Todd King and David Wedel hauled off the scrap metal that was in the park. Todd then donated the money ($186.00) from the scrap iron back to the city park.

A work day will be scheduled once the correct playset is delivered and ready to be installed.

Wood chips are needed to replace the wood chips throughout the park. Typically 90 cubic yards costs a total of $2,600. Geib called the company the park board has used and received a quote of $4,200. Clint brought up the idea of tire mulch. Geib and Roup will do some research about tire mulch and wood mulch.

Board members voted to request a special meeting with the city council.
