The commissioner acknowledges the benefits of having a second shift program for heavily used parks during peak visitation times in the summer months.
- It helps maintain cleanliness and upkeep in busy park areas with high levels of activity.
- Less active natural areas may not require the same level of second shift services.
- The council member requests data on the top 5 parks with the highest costs for second shift services to understand resource allocation for high-need parks.

I wouldn't attribute that every part could benefit from having a second shift of cleaning from Thursday to Sunday in its most heavily used times.
Sue Donoghue
3:31:32
In the most heavily used parts, absolutely.
3:31:35
There are some passive areas, natural areas that don't have that same level of activity that we don't actually wander encourage things like barbecuing.
3:31:43
It's not allowed, but absolutely in those busy areas.
3:31:47
It is helpful.

Okay.

If you give me that information, that'd be helpful on what the cost would be.
3:31:52
Could you provide the 5 parks with the greatest cost in terms of 2nd shift?
3:32:00
Services they receive are the top 5 high needs high neediest parts in the city that are part of the 2nd shift program.
Sue Donoghue
