kayaks/paddleboards, clean up picnic areas between rentals, be available for any questions
and keep an overall eye on the island. Manager Dunn also explained the City released a
Request for Proposal (RFP) today to secure one food truck vendor for every Saturday and
Sunday during the summer months. This is being done on a trial basis to see how the public
