monuments of at least 6 of the parks are in need of tending and maintenance. Some areas may need new <br />perennials and annuals; some other perennials could be utilized in other parks if there is a need to divide <br />and remove them. Previously the maintenance of these garden areas, including weeding, planting of <br />donated perennials and purchased annuals (with a minimal budget), was performed by a former staff <br />member, by the Public Works seasonal staff and by some of the part time janitorial staff. Due to the non- <br />hiring of seasonal staff this year, due to COVID-19, these gardens are in need of updating and general <br />maintenance. <br /> <br />Ideally, each committee member could be responsible for 1 to 2 parks to coordinate community <br />volunteers. There should be a job description developed for each park, coordinators & volunteers and <br />create a budget for each park. It was noted that it is important to have water available, possibly have a <br />water truck utilized for accessible water. Hidden Spring Park needs a spigot, LaMotte could use recycled <br />water, an assessment needs to be made of all the parks, including access and availability of water. <br /> <br />It was suggested that this item be included on the agenda for the February, 2021 meeting, with a tentative <br />launch of this project in the spring, 2021, with the spring park clean-up, planting and ongoing weeding. <br />Include under volunteer opportunities on the website also. Committee Member Seeley volunteered to do <br />some of the weeding. <br /> <br />2.
