At its July 7, 2026 meeting, the council first considered adding Sunday hours of 2 to 8 p.m. to the splashpad schedule without conditions. That motion failed 2-2, with council members McFarlin and Cheek opposed and Mayor Holbrook breaking the tie against it.
The council then approved a revised motion from council member Barrett at the same meeting to add the same Sunday hours, 2 to 8 p.m., on the condition that the water source remains in good condition. That motion passed unanimously.
