Park Irrigation and Athletic Field Conditions

Summary

TruGreen found bad irrigation and missed herbicide treatments at every park. Staff patched systems up in the last 60 days, but real fixes — about $900K at Veterans Park and $1.5M at Sports Park — ride on the 2026 GO bond. Campbell says don't waste money on band-aids.
