MARSHVILLE -- Maintenance of the town's park shelter was a hot topic at the recent town council meeting. Council members discussed the job description of Parks Director Alan Thifault.
The park covers approximately 13 acres. Featuring walking trails, benches, picnic tables and grills, it's the first new park in Marshville since 1978.
Thifault told council members he was having a hard time knowing what to clock in as his hours. Thifault is a resident of Monroe, so he has to drive 30 minutes every time he visits the park and leaves. He is in charge of the park, which includes cleaning and doing maintenance in the public restrooms.
Thifault said on some weekends would take close to five hours cleaning just one restroom. When he is finished he would go back home, until someone contacts him about renting the park and then he would have to travel back to Marshville.
Mayor Franklin Deese and council members told him that he should clock in anytime that he is having to travel to the park, clean the park and travel home.
The park is located on Park Drive, north of downtown, off Olive Branch Street. For more information about Park and Recreation activities, contact Thifault at 704-624-6808 or via e mail at marshvilleparks@windstream.net.
