Park & Recreation Director Sky Smothers told the council on Aug. 4 that the Alleyway Trail concept will no longer be pursued following public feedback. The department continues construction on the City Park trail to the Dog Park, is coordinating with the Winterset Community School District to allow tennis-court use for new boys' and girls' tennis programs, and is preparing for transfer of cemetery operations to Parks & Recreation on Jan. 1.
Smothers highlighted Clark Tower 100th Anniversary plans including community events and an illumination ceremony, reported acceptance of a $20,000 donation from Rose Acres toward the Fieldhouse, and noted ongoing maintenance needs after recent heavy rain.
