Public works reports vandalism and park-bathroom closures; trail cams and repairs underway

Public works staff told the council they have temporarily closed some park restrooms after repeated vandalism and are using trail cameras to help identify offenders. Staff said they will unlock facilities for reserved events but otherwise will keep the units secured until the vandalism issue is resolved.

The department reported the fire hydrant repairs and sign replacements at the children's park and noted paving plans for highway segments remain subject to contractor schedules. Staff said lower-cost trail cameras have been placed and they continue to evaluate longer-term camera or security options.
