Fun & Games at the Park Board

 

They were discussing the placement of the Gazebo in Riverview Park last evening at the Park Board, when someone inquired if changes had to be okayed by The Army Corps of Engineers.

“Yes,” thought City Administrator Deanna McCusker.

Next, someone asked about the east side, where the city is currently reinforcing the wall behind the Farm Bureau. They are fortifying the rock wall on the East Side of the river because the buildings there are now shedding so much water from their roofs it is undermining the wall.

 Then City Administrator McCusker said, “Oh, the Army Corps doesn’t care what we do on the East side (of the river)."

            I hollered, disgusted but not surprised: “NO Kidding!” I had gone there to apprise the Park Board of the problems they may be creating by putting so much cement the parks--especially the pool, which was installed without any drainage mitigation. The rest of the meeting they discussed where to put the cement by the renovated/built gazebo.
