Key outcomes at a glance:
- Sourcewell cooperative purchasing membership: Board approved participation to use Sourcewell’s cooperative procurement services (no direct cost to the district reported).
- City of Green River Parks & Rec — fourth session of summer swim lessons: Approved (motion recorded; voice vote in favor).
- City of Green River Parks & Rec — summer day camp: Approved $20,620 in funding for transportation, field trips and safety equipment for the seven-week program that runs June 16–Aug. 1; staff described an average daily attendance near 80 children and capacity up to 100.
- White Mountain Archers — outdoor archery targets: Approved a request to replace outdoor range targets at FMC Park after the club described community use and prior donor support; the club asked for $11,886 toward a larger total price of $18,678 for all targets.
- Greenbelt Task Force — water refill stations, boardwalk engineering and signage: Approved $50,000 for a package of fixtures, engineering and signage; one board member abstained because of a board affiliation.
- Green River Grapplers Wrestling Club — wrestling camp: Approved $5,000 to host a June camp featuring national-level clinicians; organizers said the funding would allow the camp to be free for Green River wrestlers.
- Sweetwater BMX pump track: Approved a $50,000 seed contribution to begin design and community engagement for a pump track/pump-park project; club said full project could be multi-year and cost substantially more.
- Miracle League of Sweetwater County: Approved $3,240 to support uniforms, liability insurance and equipment for an inclusive baseball program that served roughly 60 players last year.

Most motions passed by voice vote; the transcript records “Aye” for each approval and records at least one abstention on the Greenbelt Task Force item. The meeting packet and presenters provided program details, usage numbers and high-level budgets; where the transcript did not include a roll-call vote, the board’s voice votes were recorded without individual yes/no tallies in the publicly supplied text.

Several presenters emphasized the broad community use of the facilities and events, the role of external grants and donations in reducing local costs, and the need for city or community partners to complete larger projects. The board approved the motions and directed staff or applicants to follow up as needed with procurement, design work or further grant-seeking.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","SWCSD2 Rec/Board Meeting - 3/11/2025","oneSentenceSummary","During the meeting the Green River Recreation Board considered and approved several community grant requests and program funding items, including Sourcewell membership, swim lessons, day camp support, archery targets, greenbelt task force projects, wrestling camp, BMX pump track seed funding, and Miracle League support.","taxTitle","Sweetwater County School District #2, School Districts, Wyoming","taxId",67508,"location","Wyoming","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":77,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":78,"_41":79,"_43":80,"_45":81,"_47":82,"_49":83,"_51":84,"_53":85,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":86,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":87,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":72,"_73":74,"_75":74},6287087,"Rec board approves $165,000 amendment to replace Wolves Stadium scoreboard; sponsorships planned to reimburse rec mill",432,3544000,3976000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2555519-1446495271632dd6a80526d3fcde884e&start=3544&end=3976","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2555519-1446495271632dd6a80526d3fcde884e/thumbnail_3544000.jpg","/articles/6287087/Wyoming/Rec-board-approves-165000-amendment-to-replace-Wolves-Stadium-scoreboard-sponsorships-planned-to-reimburse-rec-mill","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6287087-c6d9f956356be6a4bb70d338aa474808/orig.mp4?Expires=1771106082&Signature=LvI2D7JeXjbRHIdeN8M-cxU2mHsT9lSwNFnij9A1AxOFYp1ucbl8tVhF8FJgkh42EQAYNUGF85IdfRxh9SMYY~YyjKuTyNLto12Betn5-D0YnAEizQ702iGZNyMeO8P6QoIjyx4tfzH71MnKSQociiZ1~BFy~nS5QuJ9jSiswpzI9a8CXOPuU~0-FUHRlNsZuA-X1UR8MsCH3DYJX9swlvX3Kp9eMwSudgB4sm0Q36gBU8xPRVx2jN0XIZHBRlHoOpEkyuvXKBuSKDZVpB0dEN70-QG3jfGcED0t-e8phIefzBs-NAeVi52p1-Ksmy8wqwK869AWLaE6kJ0bZ4kZ2w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Green River Recreation Board approved a $165,000 rec-mill amendment to fund replacement of the Wolves Stadium scoreboard after the activities department presented bids from two major suppliers and a plan to recoup the cost through corporate sponsorships.

Activities staff reported that bids from Nevco and Daktronics were evaluated; Nevco’s proposal included a larger video display, a 10-year parts warranty and the option to include four permanent sponsorship panels on the scoreboard. Activities leaders said Nevco’s package also included, at no additional cost, a FinishLynx timing system used for certified track meet results — a feature the district currently lacks for its track meets.

Tony Beardsley (activities department) and a presentation by JR outlined the educational and community benefits of a modern scoreboard — instant replay, live video, digital advertising opportunities and student learning in video production and graphics. The department proposed selling five-year sponsorship panels and using those funds to reimburse the rec mill the $165,000 advance; after repayment, sponsorship revenue would support activities programs.

Board members asked about timeline and repayment. Activities staff said they have early interest from potential sponsors and estimated that a small set of high-value sponsors (for example, four sponsors at $25,000 each) would substantially repay the rec mill contribution within the first year, and they projected full reimbursement within two to three years depending on sponsor commitments. The transcript records affirmative voice approval; no roll-call vote was recorded in the provided transcript.

The board’s approval also included an amendment to the rec-mill expenditures to reflect the increased budget for the scoreboard project.

The activities department will begin sponsorship outreach and finalize contract details with Nevco, then schedule engineering and installation dates to have the scoreboard in place for fall 2025 sports if procurement and installation timelines hold.","The activities department asked the recreation board to amend rec-mill funding for a new Nevco scoreboard at Wolves Stadium.

The decision followed a request from Ryan Reston, government affairs and grants manager for the City of Green River, who described the work as “a long time coming.”

Reston told the board the city began work on the park in 2020 and has completed riverbank stabilization and playground replacement using a mix of federal land-and-water conservation funds and city contributions. He said inflation and earlier delays — including pandemic-related pause and grant timing — raised construction costs. “Originally, the city received a transportation alternatives program grant … $400,000 in federal funds and a $100,000 match,” Reston said, but bid results showed the pathway-and-lighting portion now estimates near $900,000.

The nut of the request was that the city is reapplying to the Wyoming Department of Transportation’s TAP program and hopes to increase the federal share; the city asked the rec board to provide matching funds or to help cover shortfalls if the federal award does not cover the new estimate. Reston said the entire Riverside Park effort, including riverbank, playground, pathway and lighting, is roughly a $1.5 million project to complete.

Board members discussed the district’s shrinking rec-mill revenue after the recent property tax cut and expressed reluctance to use reserves for every request. One trustee proposed approving $100,000 now and inviting the city back next year for additional support if YDOT funds do not materialize; the motion passed without a recorded roll-call in the transcript.

The board and city representatives noted the pathway is likely dependent on the TAP award timetable and that construction may not begin in the next fiscal year if additional federal funds are required. Reston said the riverbank work needs to be completed before pathway replacement, and that recent additional federal grants and rec-mill money already spent on the playground and bank work leave the pathway and lighting as the remaining major cost.

The board’s approval provides the city a committed local match to leverage in discussions with YDOT and other grantors. Reston said the city will return with updates if the YDOT reapplication yields a revised federal award or if uncovered costs remain.

The action: board approved $100,000 for the Riverside Memorial Park Pathway and Lighting Project as a partial local match; the city will continue seeking federal funds and may return for further requests.

The board’s vote and Reston’s presentation occurred during the rec board meeting portion of the evening; the transcript records an affirmative voice vote but does not provide named yes/no votes in the public record provided to the reporter.","The Green River recreation board approved $100,000 in rec-mill funds to help the City of Green River complete a reconstructed riverbank and new pathway and lighting at Riverside Memorial Park.
