Gallatin said the course received a shipment of new golf carts and returned 33 older carts to the leasing company; proceeds from that sale will reduce the course’s deficit. The new lease provides manufacturer tech support for cart repairs, which Gallatin said should reduce mechanic labor demands. He described a new procedure requiring golfers to sign a liability waiver when they check out a cart.

On operations and finance, Gallatin presented a scorecard tracking green fees, cart fees and food-and-beverage revenue. He said his March revenue goal of $18,209 was exceeded when the course brought in $19,008.25, even with two weekend rainouts. Gallatin reported about 1,159 recorded rounds in March and said roughly 40% of rounds were by season-pass holders, meaning about 60% were paying rounds.

He described outreach and marketing efforts including advertising, donated rounds to fundraisers, scheduled events (a Chamber of Commerce event, a statewide Moose event, and Jake’s golf fundraiser) and community leagues. Gallatin said junior golf demand has surged—practices fill the putting green and several junior high teams are using the facility—and he is pursuing partnerships with nearby facilities to increase practice opportunities.

To relieve pressure on the course and create practice space, Gallatin and board members discussed a driving range proposal using a nearby landfill parcel identified in prior architect plans. Board member Raj said the site was a planning‑stage suggestion in earlier designs and noted the range’s relatively low overhead once built.

Gallatin said he continues to seek sponsorships for hole signs (current annual cost cited as $1,200; longer-term contracts around $3,000) and will pursue vendor sponsor dollars at an upcoming food show. He also listed planned events for 2025 aimed at increasing rounds and revenues.

Questions from board members included marketing attribution (GolfNow and advertising), sponsorship prospects, and whether leagues or external facilities could help with junior practice demand. No formal golf‑related policy or budget votes were taken at the meeting.","Manager Roger Gallatin reported higher-than-expected March green fees and cart revenue, delivery of leased carts, a new liability waiver for carts, and proposals to add a driving‑range facility to relieve junior-play pressure and increase revenue.",{"_33":87,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":88,"_41":89,"_43":90,"_45":91,"_46":92,"_48":93,"_50":94,"_52":95,"_54":55,"_56":57,"_58":96,"_60":61,"_62":63,"_64":97,"_66":67,"_68":69,"_70":67,"_71":72,"_73":72},6089754,"Madison City parks staff reports hires, pool schedule, campground flood closure and new registration software",1669,51455,1721000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2871899-285904771278803ec883b680ddec62a7&start=51&end=1721","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2871899-285904771278803ec883b680ddec62a7/thumbnail_51455.jpg","/articles/6089754/Madison-City/Jefferson-County/Indiana/Madison-City-parks-staff-reports-hires-pool-schedule-campground-flood-closure-and-new-registration-software","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6089754-28d2d7359458621010812ce4fe496298/orig.mp4?Expires=1771143536&Signature=AZf26daHPSFXZgp2djoZP6p6TRq7EKsS2ay7c1uZrQ9PGRQjWgwZJUbKnzjrHss6uIYFzI5MBTrDr9es582qsjkSpw17IKUaGQSpRiVKZoXyrz7v-McxKtHc8dquHq96AhXwZevdApMEAqQ~F3cDQwLyegeG1sA4HIqs5RzkqshkZq7R-F5KRDHIQlpjt6350Pjo8ea9bGuGqaRMQNG7aBzlgmTbB0b6I6r~Dolnc8DHtPFK6ptGsCRQzMEtAUgjnK1j2yvt4pOr6aGMxMGkPmrTswFUFFiRQUrPFbVsCYYA-Hk35~XmsKSQcz-LFAT3fwVozG4TtH7rQWEzxXchvQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Tanya Burnett, parks department staff, reported staff changes, program schedules and storm-related closures at a Madison City Parks Department meeting, and invited the public to upcoming volunteer and hiring events.

Burnett said Parks has hired Linda Lee to replace an employee named Kim, who retires May 2; Lee will start “the 14th” with a short training overlap. She announced a student hiring fair for concessions and front‑door staff at Brown Gym on April 12 from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m., and said Crystal Beach seasonal hiring is under way and lifeguard recruitment continues.

The rec registration software rollout was delayed; Burnett said the new system’s launch moved to April 15. She told the panel that when active, patrons will receive scan‑cards for packages and program access that can be used across park facilities.

Burnett gave a pool schedule: Crystal Beach pool will open May 23 (the Friday of Memorial Day weekend). Weekday hours from May 23 to June 8 will be 12 p.m. to 6 p.m.; weekend hours 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. From June 9 through Sept. 1 weekday hours will be 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. and weekend hours 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.; programs will run 8 a.m. to noon and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. beginning June 9. She agreed to ask staff to post the hours in a front window on Main Street for public visibility.

Burnett said the campground opened April 1 but staff closed it when flooding threatened the area; Kim processed refunds for scheduled campers and staff are watching river levels and pump operation. She said crews likely will pull pedestal power and that parks and street crews are coordinating pump monitoring. A larger rental pump was expected to arrive the next day.

Facilities work is ongoing: fields at Rucker, John Paul Park and Kiwanis are being repaired, dugouts at John Paul Park are complete, and a public cleanup at John Paul Park is scheduled for April 12 at 10 a.m.; the Parks Department and local working groups are leading that effort.

Burnett also reported that DOC (Department of Corrections) work crews who previously worked through the street department are now assigned under parks supervision and are assisting with mowing, riverfront and other park maintenance. She publicly thanked the DOC crew members for their work cleaning parks and the pool.

A separate senior-center update from Brett noted 107 meals served in March, 26 bags of produce distributed, a recent trip to the Cincinnati Museum Center, an April trip to Marengo Cave, a new Tuesday dance program led by Diane (RSVP coordinator), and ongoing regular activities and rentals at the center.

In public comment, Jan Atreus, a resident of 701 East Second Street, asked whether neighbors around Damon Welch Park had seen final plans; Burnett said funding and timeline issues remain and she would place neighbor outreach on her list for follow-up.

Staff and board members did not take any new policy votes during the park report; Burnett described operations, schedules and follow-up items for staff.","Parks staff announced staffing changes, a delayed rec-software launch, pool opening dates and hours, a temporary campground closure because of flooding, a cleanup volunteer day at John Paul Park and reassignment of DOC workers to parks maintenance.","actionData","errors"]
