Randall cleans up Veterans Park

Due to not much snowfall this winter, Randall city staff have had more time for work outside snow plowing. This includes cleaning up the city’s Veterans Park to ensure it stays a pleasant place and a respectful sign of appreciation for its veterans.

At the Wednesday, March 20 Randall City Council meeting, City Manager Matt Pantzke said that as the park had dead and dying spruce trees, city staff cleared these trees in the area. Although there was no official action taken to purchase new trees to replace the removed ones at the meeting, Pantzke said he had reached out to multiple tree providers.
