At the June 3 Keystone Town Board meeting, trustee Kwinn Neff reported back to the board regarding the purchase of a microphone and recorder to begin taping Keystone’s official meetings. At a previous meeting, Neff brought up the topic of having Keystone’s meetings recorded and was given permission to check prices and options. Neff stated that he preferred the selection provided by Office Depot and it was approved that he select and purchase the equipment at a cost not to exceed $300 based on a motion by trustee Cathy Madison.
Continued discussion took place between Cal Loock and board members regarding the revised Keystone walking tour brochure. Loock wants an update with information on the back side adding a fitness walk which can be incorporated while exploring the town’s historic sites and places of interest.
He has requested $700 from the city’s promotional fund to facilitate this and Loock stated that he personally would pay the cost of boxes to house the brochures. People who visit want to know where they can locate certain city facilities, such as restrooms, parks, parking, picnic areas and so on, Loock said, adding that while residents often take this information for granted, it may be very important to those who need these amenities.
The request was approved with trustee Madison emphasizing the need to include all sections of town.
“I want to make sure all of Keystone is on the map,” she said. Loock replied that more features will be on the map progressively. “The next goal is – we can do a nature walk up the hill from Watson Park. We’ll start small,” he said.
