before we can get dryers hooked up,” Marshall said. “They didn’t have dryers in the past.”
Separately, a plumbing company encountered water pressure problems after touchless toilets were installed and water was turned off.
“We do not have (Seltzer) South and Rabold open as we speak,” Marshall said of the restroom facilities at those locations.
“We have (Seltzer) North open, Black Fork is open,” he said in citing other examples.
As activities increase in the parks so do trash-collecting efforts.
“We are now doing it twice a week,” Marshall said, adding that additional trash barrels also are in place.
This is to accommodate the additional trash that is generated at this time of year, he said.
“People have been using the parks fairly heavily here the last couple of weeks,” Marshall reported. “It’s been 75-80 degrees.”
With the pleasant conditions, playground equipment and tennis nets that had been in storage for the winter have been reinstalled. The list also includes equipment.
As for park property, staff also is carrying out ground work to help with rough soil. “We’re trying to get that work in as we can,” Marshall said.
He also noted the volunteer work carried out by the Flower Girls group.
“I want to give a big ‘Thank you’ to our Flower Girls,” Marshall said. “They started working a couple of weeks ago applying fertilizer to the perennials. They cleaned out the (flower) beds.”
Marshall also credited the Flower Girls with taking on another task. “We always have a big bunch of leaves this time of year from oak trees up at Playscape,” he said. “They shed over the winter.”
The parks staff had planned to handle the cleanup. “But the gals jumped in and got it out for us,” Marshall said. “They actually had a dump truck load of leaves.”
“They did a heck of a good job of cleaning that up,” he added in praising the Flower Girls.
Among other business, Park Board President Ed Ingle provided an update on the proposed use of the Tucker Avenue Park field for youth soccer.
“He is going to bring his own stuff in,” Ingle said of
volleyball soccer coach Keith Swisher. “All he wants to use is the land on it.”
And at the meeting, Marshall noted the ditch petition to clean up the Black Fork River.
“They are mapping by hand and by drone 50 feet south of the Mickey Road bridge to the bridge at (State) Route 13,” Marshall told the park board. “That is quite a stretch. They are going down to (State Route) 96. There is a log jam somewhere on 13...It will cover some 18 miles while they’re doing this.”
Marshall said a document explaining the project had arrived in the mail. He shared details of what he had learned.
“What somebody mentioned is that all costs of engineering, contracting and future maintenance will be assessed to the benefiting parcels of land, which we’ve got. Black Fork (Commons) and Tucker (Park), which would impact us,” Marshall detailed.
