Wakefield Council meeting last night.

Written by on April 28, 2020

WAKEFIELD — The order closing Eddy Park, ways to get Sunday Lake Campground open, and the city financial outlook were among items discussed Monday by the Wakefield City Council.  City manager Robert Brown’s report discussed the status of the campground, which provides revenue to cover most of Wakefield’s parks and recreation budget. Brown said he has discussed the campground with the health department.  “They don’t have any guidance at this point,” he said. “How many campground sites can we open?  “If the park is open, the health department is looking for a cleaning regimen,”  Brown said there are varied estimates on how often park or campground fixtures would need to be disinfected, ranging from every three hours to twice a day. A park subcommittee was to meet to discuss these issues and consider other matters Tuesday evening.  Though fitness trails remain open, the park is festooned with yellow ribbons indicating people should stay out. The Wakefield Municipal Building remains closed, with staff working from home. Brown said he anticipates returning to a more normal work situation “sometime after Memorial Day weekend.” Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has extended the shelter at home order through May 15. “I think you’ll see another extension,” Brown said.  Meanwhile the Wakefield Public Library remains closed.  Library closures have been a well defined part of the governor’s shut- down order.
