Kingsford Heights Town Council meeting, September 28, 2026. The council unanimously approved having Richard Grot demolish the damaged, leaning park pavilion at no charge, with the town responsible for the disposal fee, discussed as approximately $500. Members said insurance coverage may reimburse costs, subject to a $1,000 deductible and confirmation of whether the pavilion damage can be included with the storm-damage claim. Parks also reported a $1,000 grant restricted to dugout repairs; staff will assess salvageable materials and determine repair costs. Plumbing repairs at the community center were discussed, with direction that a plumber could be called to fix the urgent urinal problems and invoice the town. A refrigerator purchase was also raised, but no specific amount or formal purchase approval was recorded.
The council approved the claims docket while directing the clerk to hold a $9,704.96 Fire Service, Inc. payment until she verifies whether it duplicates payments made in June and September. Members discussed seeking a quote for sidewalk work to address drainage, but did not approve a contractor or expenditure. Parks funding remained uncertain pending budget revisions: members noted roughly $6,000 in prior-year funds and a potential Unity Foundation grant of about $25,000, which may require a local contribution. No ordinances or resolutions were considered. The council also discussed possible future changes to golf-cart and other motorized-vehicle rules, but took no action.
