When: Clay Township supervisors meeting, April 27.
What happened:Â Don Moyer and Gary Calik, public works employees, notified officials of an uptick in vandalism at Snyder Community Park 1 on Clay School Road and Snyder Community Park 2 on Snyder Lane. Vandals have damaged ballfields and public restrooms, they said, and they asked supervisors to look into installing surveillance cameras at the parks.
Response: Supervisors voted 3-0 to have public works employees install surveillance cameras and signs about the cameras at the parks. Vice chair Keith Martin said he is âinterested to see if that corrects some of the behaviors.
Why it matters: With warmer weather approaching, outdoor attendance will increase at the parks. Moyer said the park on Snyder Lane has seen more vandalism than the Clay School Road Park. He said having surveillance cameras at the parks will allow the township to capture vehicle and license plate information to identify the vandals.
