Roxie Caswell voiced her concern at the Common Council meeting on June 19 held at City Hall. She informed the Council of the bricks and metal debris piled by Fandry Park and recommended that it should be removed for the safety of the children playing in the area and new playground equipment installed in its place to be closer to the ball fields. “It (the debris) serves no purpose there,” Caswell stated.
“It is unsightly,” Police Chief Weiland agreed and mentioned that children have been seen playing on it.
Caswell went on to share her concern that Westaby’s lime pile at the end of the ball field shouldn’t be so close to where children play as she has noticed children playing on the lime piles and the wind carries the lime onto the park patrons. She asked if that land is leased from the city.
“No, it’s leased from the railroad,” Mayor Haas said.
Caswell then asked what it would take to move the lime pile to a different location.
“Does he have to work when there’s games at night?” she questioned to which the Council answered that they had no control over that.
Roxie Caswell went on to share her hopes for the installation of a dog park.
“It would be nice if the city had a dog park,” Caswell continued and remarked that there is enough land in the area to install one and that it would benefit many Stanley residents, including the residents of Sunset Homes. She mentioned the possible site of the area by the dam that the rodeo participants use for their horses and added that it could be used in conjunction with the Stanley Rodeo.
“I think the Dog Park is a good idea,” Councilman Huff remarked.
Water Department News
The Council also heard the water department’s proposal for a heater replacement at the Central plant from Korenuk’s Heating and Cooling at the cost of $9,043.90
“That one is fairly old already,” Water Treatment Plant operator Don Goettl commented.
“We need it,” Mayor Haas agreed.
“Definitely,” Goettl answered and when questioned remarked that it could be installed in a couple weeks.
The Council unanimously approved the proposal.
The next City Council meeting will be held on July 3 at 7:00 p.m.
