Deputy Director Shane Sager said renovations at Booker T. Washington will include new floors, painted interiors, new bleachers and improvements to ventilation and restroom stalls as part of a broader effort to improve climate control and facility longevity. “The wall is supposed to be here towards the end of this month, which was the longest lead,” Sager said, describing supply and scheduling challenges for long-lead items.

Staff said the Bluffton Center will receive interior senior-center renovations and that larger-scale field projects are under study, including evaluating turf installations and baseball-field reconfigurations to meet demand. Sager identified Shellpoint Park as partially closed because root intrusion is damaging a tennis court and several pickleball courts; the department has solicited quotes for full resurfacing to bring the courts back to standard.

At Southside Pickleball, staff reported the contractor had to redo the court floor because of puddling; the surface work is underway and courts remain closed until the finishing work ensures long-term stability. Officials said the department is taking time to address subsurface or drainage issues to avoid repeat failures.

No capital appropriations, contracts or firm reopening dates were approved at the meeting because the body lacked a quorum. Staff said they will continue contractor coordination and return any required approvals to the next scheduled meeting.","Staff described planned and in-progress facility projects including Booker T.

A department representative said the home-delivered meals and in-center dining programs are “really thriving” and noted frequent field trips over recent months. Staff told board members that the Booker T. Washington facility will undergo interior renovations “in the next few weeks” to update flooring, paint and cabinetry, and that the department is beginning planning for two new senior community centers, Agnes and Wesley Felix.

Shane Sager, deputy director, warned that the senior program is funded heavily by federal sources and that the department is monitoring the federal continuing resolution. “Our senior program is funded heavily by the federal government. The continuing resolution from the fiscal side, if it is not — if the budget isn't passed — then we will have to be looking at how we're continuing to run the senior program and those the the dining piece of that,” Sager said.

Staff also reported partnerships and outreach events tied to senior and family services but did not commit to funding adjustments; no formal actions were taken because the meeting lacked a quorum.

An aquatics manager reported that Battery Creek Pool and Beaufort Pool are operating with regular hours and continuing school swim lessons and public programs, including infant swim lessons and water aerobics at Beaufort Pool. “Battery Creek is still the same as always. The hours are still the same,” the aquatics manager said during the report.

Two pools — Alvin Settles Pool and Bluffton Pool — remain closed; staff said no reopening date was announced. A recent lifeguarding class at Battery Creek drew three participants after a January session was delayed by snowfall; staff said additional classes are scheduled in March and April.

Recreation staff also confirmed that swim lesson formats include private and group lessons and stroke-improvement classes, with online registration available. Officials encouraged residents seeking training or employment to watch forthcoming advertisements for summer lifeguard positions.

County recreation officials said the department lost about five days of operations in January because of snow and ice but saw “fairly robust” admissions in January and February. Shane Sager, deputy director, delivered the operations update and noted weather-related closures when briefing members.

The department reported registrations are largely closed for the spring season. Adam Christian, athletics staff, said soccer registrations had ended and practices and games for youth baseball and softball will begin this week, with opening days and district- and state-level tournaments incoming. “We hosted the district tournament this past weekend, and then we're hosting the state tournament this upcoming weekend,” Christian said, noting the 8-and-under girls from Bluffton earned an automatic state bid and the 10-and-under girls won their district tournament.

Brock Baum, athletic supervisor, provided town-specific counts for Beaufort: when last checked, there were six Diamond Youth softball registrations and 19 Diamond Youth baseball registrations. He also described a new indoor adult soccer league that began this week and reported plans for a potential summer adult league in Beaufort being developed with possible participation from the YMCA.

The county is piloting its first lacrosse season with two age groups and smaller-sided teams, Baum said, and the program will initially remain within Beaufort rather than travel to neighboring communities. Staff described tentative scheduling for tournaments and additional community-hosted events in coming months. No formal decisions or policy votes were taken during the meeting because the body did not have a quorum.

Less critical operational details discussed included adjustments to schedules because of construction at Charles Lynn Brown Center and the department’s effort to stagger field and facility usage across Burton Wells, Buckwalter and other venues.

County staff said they will advertise summer camp and lifeguard positions in coming weeks and monitor participation levels before finalizing additional league expansions.","Beaufort County recreation staff reported registrations mostly closed, youth and adult leagues restarting after snow-related cancellations, and several upcoming tournaments and new programs including lacrosse and an indoor adult soccer league.","actionData","errors"]
