Staff Reports a) Park Improvements and Updates Linda Moore, Recreation Manager, shared the old playground equipment was removed because it was unsafe at Branch Tree Park. Additionally, the swing sets were refurbished. At Lake Concord Park there are now several new concrete outlet posts and four new 220 outlets to encourage our food truck vendors to use electricity instead of the loud gas -powered generators. Also, new plants and mulch have been installed throughout the park. At Plumosa Oaks Park, the volleyball net and poles have been replaced and the court surface improved with 100 tons of sand. Additionally, new safety mulch was installed at the playground area. New recycled tree mulch was installed at the Pawmosa Dog Park. Two of the bleachers from Wirz Park have been relocated to the sidelines of the multi-purpose fields at Secret Lake Park. Board Vice Chair Woody Bass inquired about the safety mulch.
