Staff Report
East Liverpool The Thompson Park Board of Commissioners met virtually for a brief meeting last week.
The body agreed to hire Ryan Lilly as a new part-time assistant park manager and to purchase a new 5.5′ x 10′ trailer from Tractor Supply for $1,099 to move its fleet of equipment on as requested by Park Superintendent Shawn Rybaczenko. The purchase will come out of the newly renewed park levy money, explained East Liverpool Auditor Marilyn Bosco.
In an update on the restrooms, Rybaczenko said that the blueprints have been dropped off for the contractors, and officials currently are waiting to hear back with a start date.

EAST LIVERPOOL For this holiday season, volunteers hit a landmark accomplishment.
Not only have they distributed close to 200,000 meals to East Liverpool students since classroom doors were shuttered in 2020 due to the pandemic, members of the school district staff and the community donated almost $7,000 through the effort of city Councilman Jeff Kreefer and his project to provide gift cards, hams and turkeys to families in need within the district.
