Lorna Squire, parks superintendent for Mona, was upset
with how situations are handled with the Mona City Park.
She approached the city council and told them that she
needed to be informed when something was being done at the
park. Her problem concerned the digging up of the baseball
diamond.
She said that the heavy dump truck had driven across
the lawn leaving ruts that now needed to be filled in. She
also said that the truck tore up the blacktop in the parking
lot.
She was concerned over the truck possibly running over
a sprinkler head and damaging it.
Squire said she thought the workers were going to park
on the street and haul the dirt in with buckets. She stated
that they could have taken down the fence if they needed
access.
The council said they would get someone to fill in the
ruts and apologized for not letting her know in advance
about the work. They said it had been a case of
miscommunication and said it wouldn't happen again.
Squire also asked if she could purchase flowers and
shrubs to plant around the city building, and if the windows
in the garage could be repaired. The council agreed to go
ahead with the planting and the repairs.
She voiced her concern over the cemetery not having
any water. She asked if it would be okay to hook onto Pat
Painter's water line and water that way. She said there was
no water pressure while the fields were being irrigated.
Council members said that the cemetery's water was hooked up
on the wrong line.
