the meeting agenda from October 11, 2022.
The changes we made to help mitigate the trash due
to increase use of our parks and picnic areas are a great
start, but we can’t do it alone. We need the community
to help us. We need you to take pride in your local park
and make sure to take excess garbage with you when
you leave, cleanup after yourself, and be good stewards
of our parks.
