Senior Citizen Advisory Commission - Oct 20, 2026
Residents report the dog park isn't getting wood chips, weed control, or hazard cleanup — volunteers are weed-whacking themselves and flagging trip hazards and liability risk. The commission can't act but directed concerns to the Town Council meeting.
