20261112 Park Board Meeting

The Toledo, Washington Park Board meeting on November 12, 2026, covered park operations, upcoming events, and potential improvements. Staff reported an active bid process with submissions due November 30 and a target completion date of February 28; the transcript does not clearly identify the project. Swing sets have not been purchased. A separate bid for pop-up electrical outlets had received one response by the meeting, with a deadline of November 15; the board cited an approximate $8,000 bid. No contract awards or purchasing approvals were reported. The board deferred discussion of installing donated rocks on a cement slab until January, pending input on placement, construction methods, and costs; members noted that professional installation could require a bid and discussed seeking donated labor or help from local organizations.

The board also began planning an Easter event and a Tuesday movie-night fundraiser, but postponed budget decisions until members gather equipment, ticket-printing, food-vendor, and other cost estimates; the city’s budget was described as tight and nearing finalization. Staff said the park host would remain onsite during the winter and discussed improving maintenance logs, communication, and repair tracking. The board discussed a community effort to recognize veterans with unmarked graves and possible fundraising and outreach, but made no funding commitment. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn.
