The Parks & Community Services Committee meeting began with an update on the state of the parks. The committee commended the efforts of the Ecola Bible College volunteers who have been instrumental in removing invasive species like blackberries, hollies, and ivy, picking up trash, and assisting with the installation of playground equipment. The volunteers' efforts have been greatly appreciated, and the committee noted that they are running out of tasks for them due to their efficiency.
