Parks: Director Geary informed the committee that staff have been extremely busy with daily shelter cleaning. He also told the committee the Remington dugout project has been completed. Lastly, Geary mentioned softball and baseball games started this week. Kube asked what the schedule for cleaning shelters looks like for staff. Geary answered there are two part time staff that work hard on early weekend mornings before shelters open to get them cleaned and turned over for the next group. Kube mentioned the men’s and women’s restrooms were closed at Seven Bridges Park and asked if that was the norm. Geary replied that there has been a lot of vandalism in those restrooms so staff keep them locked for the most part unless there are games or tournaments being held, but the family restroom is open during park hours. Aquatic Center: Geary reminded the committee that the pool opens on June 6 and closes August 16. He also stated that Parkitecture will be visiting the aquatic center on June 19.
