Topics getting the most attention in Green public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
The Core recreation center finances
Residents praised The CORE at a recent council meeting, and staff stressed the facility is meeting its mission even if revenues aren't huge. Membership is growing, youth fees are being adjusted slightly, and new promos (birthday parties, Parker's Challenge trail access, volleyball at The CORE) are rolling out.
Service Department equipment surplus and replacement (Resolution 2026-R52)
The city's 2019 sewer jet has spent more time in the shop than in service, and parts come from Italy on 14-16 week waits. The $50,000 trade-in toward a versatile $324,672 hydro excavator would let crews do catch basin cleaning, vault cleaning, and safer excavation around fiber lines in-house — but it means spending contingency dollars that won't be available for 2027 paving projects.
