To the Honorable City Council:

 

In response to #211452:

Agenda Item 211452

That the Director of Parks and Recreation discuss with this Council’s Committee on Open Space, Environment and Energy the plan for reopening city parks and school playgrounds, including water features.

 

City parks and schoolyards are already open. Water features will not open until consistent warmer weather exists. Water features are typically not open until around or after Memorial Day. Water fountains will remain closed due to COVID19 health and safety concerns.

 

Please contact me if I can be of further assistance.
