Parks notes vandalism to new fixtures, plans repairs and winter maintenance work

Parks staff told the committee they received photos showing two new sinks in a Hillcrest Park restroom had been ripped off the wall and said they will need to re-secure the fixtures and assess damage.

"I was told today or sent pictures today of the 2 sinks at Hillcrest Park bathroom that our new 70,000 that both sinks were ripped off the wall of the men's restroom," Russell Hooper reported, describing the damage and the need for repair. He also said a fountain motor control problem was manufacturer-covered and has been replaced. Committee members discussed prioritizing a maintenance barn in the master-plan sequence to improve on-site storage and response capacity for repairs.

Staff said they will investigate repair costs and schedule work, and that the maintenance barn remains a Year 1 priority to reduce repetitive trips offsite for materials and to centralize staff tools and workspace.
