The Greenwood Parks Foundation presentation noted an operating cash balance of about $4.2 million at the end of the previous month. Staff said impact-fee receipts are up about $22,000–$23,000 year to date and that the impact-fee balance is “just over 1.34” (as presented). Staff also reported favorable food-and-beverage tax receipts and said some revenues fluctuate with seasonal program registrations.

Parks staff said Freedom Springs pool operations are on track for an opening day of May 24, 2025. All three pools were reportedly running, staff were balancing chemicals and performing deck and facility preparations. Staff said lifeguard certifications have been updated and facility-training for lifeguards and mission staff is scheduled; the department said it still needed to hire a small number of guards.

Trails staff reported progress on a required easement appraisal with the Timber’s Edge homeowner association. The HOA granted permission to proceed with an appraisal for an easement tied to a bridge crossing; staff said they had contacted an appraiser and would return with appraisal results to inform negotiations.

Fieldhouse and programming reports described increased rental and participation compared with earlier seasons, routine staffing adjustments for seasonal cycles, and upcoming summer events including concerts and family programs. Board members praised staff efforts on retention and cross-department staffing to support summer operations.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Park Board Meeting 05-06-2025","oneSentenceSummary","At its May 6 meeting Greenwood Parks and Recreation staff reported an operating cash balance, impact fee increases, an anticipated pool opening date and progress on a trails easement appraisal tied to a bridge project; staff also described summer staffing and fieldhouse usage.","taxTitle","Greenwood, Johnson County, Indiana","taxId",4102,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6247829,"Board approves summer park event permits including 5K, triathlon and National Night Out",135,329000,464000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3212600-dd12d44bca32bcee25eb3e92e3764a71&start=329&end=464","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3212600-dd12d44bca32bcee25eb3e92e3764a71/thumbnail_329000.jpg","/articles/6247829/Greenwood/Johnson-County/Indiana/Board-approves-summer-park-event-permits-including-5K-triathlon-and-National-Night-Out","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6247829-152a6ec829d77c34a8967c193d648365/orig.mp4?Expires=1775227874&Signature=HuVTK8WEuIE7syd5G49DUhrPygvc72QAjY3KllLoJSqxdf5vBR2JHdAp4yqg49ABHXoXqm3AvEalRQ-iczipXgrwDkHjNY9lIMY5-EA9xY41QTz-1miIYp~qOEwUJEgF~78JtXALdeWFYzwD--4pAgZIS4Qfim-jMgdpt1yPcrRtp7-isH0irVp5D73CX27Wu1xdLjg1ArlY6jEzqslXhcnIw6GgQ84iSkTa1~X~rfxKlBXURpDQxBZb12qPdIoehxjPIB7-gFVQjOdKVtUYOtgbKoHWAJv85DeadhmECZufcBtsV4LERlpSwR0TUIm~AIl4rNuWKMSb6BvSN3idpA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Greenwood Parks and Recreation Board on May 6, 2025 approved multiple use agreements for summer events at Freedom Park and other park facilities, including a VFW Post run, a youth triathlon and the Greenwood Police Department’s National Night Out.

Staff described a use agreement with the VFW Post 58 64 for a May 31 5K fundraiser that would use the shelter house and associated park facilities. The board approved the use agreement with no recorded opposition.

The board also approved a use agreement for the Tri for Kids triathlon at Freedom Park on Aug. 24, 2025. Staff said the triathlon will use the pool (spring swimming) for the swim leg, cycling and running routes in park-adjacent areas, and a tented transition area. The agreement was presented as a returning event.

Finally, staff presented a use agreement with the Greenwood Police Department for National Night Out on Aug. 25, 2025; the board approved that request as well.

Board members made and seconded the motions and voted in favor of each permit. Staff will coordinate logistics, facility scheduling and any permit conditions required by the city before each event.","Greenwood Parks and Recreation Board approved use agreements May 6 for multiple summer events: a VFW Post 5K fundraiser, the Tri for Kids triathlon in August, and the Greenwood Police Department’s National Night Out in August.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6247833,"Parks board approves independent-contractor renewals for diving lessons and youth sports camps",232,67000,299000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3212600-dd12d44bca32bcee25eb3e92e3764a71&start=67&end=299","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3212600-dd12d44bca32bcee25eb3e92e3764a71/thumbnail_67000.jpg","/articles/6247833/Greenwood/Johnson-County/Indiana/Parks-board-approves-independent-contractor-renewals-for-diving-lessons-and-youth-sports-camps","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6247833-868096abd34b1121d59ba1fd60fcb409/orig.mp4?Expires=1775227874&Signature=e5SlgA17oodlNq0WrT9xQrz~U8gkST0Nlxf675qbMtyKj3b3kMc2Ntxkijiu51L0diKXmA2qI3AADZuUM-yXSk0UrM0Ya6svzPzc7KQDxad3CLfC1Gj2FSPltdlIWuhlo5g77ftiyFx8bBQomQDtbMEl7LH2pUcq36cArdxCo-5x2o8PKvzpijr0wAg1KOiu~MCuPEu~Nu7al0TcgK30sF7WA5N7eTBgNQrQCSXnJiEw0Isf8cUM7HJGFri5Gyvhw9J5B-nvGk6TYRA-VnZksFyhG-VSmbJWmQRL6a6SamvE1Fouct7FIfJ7Sq-5EP79uCs9po1Jjwx1525FqYqwhg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Greenwood Parks and Recreation Board on May 6, 2025 approved independent-contractor agreements to continue diving lessons with Paul Burrows and to engage Brian Richardson to provide softball and baseball camps at Sports Park and the Fieldhouse during 2025.

Staff said the agreement with Paul Burrows is a renewal—Burrows has provided diving instruction for several years—and that this year’s programming will include use of the high dive and premium diving sessions at Freedom Springs. The agreement with Brian Richardson will let the department run multiple softball and baseball performance camps using Sports Park and the Fieldhouse to “monetize the fields,” staff said.

Both agreements were presented as routine program contracts to diversify seasonal programming. Board members asked clarifying questions about provider experience and logistics. Motions to approve both independent-contractor agreements carried without recorded opposition.

Each contractor agreement will be administered by parks staff and is subject to final contract execution and any required insurance or permit requirements listed in the standard city contract review process.","The Greenwood Parks and Recreation Board approved independent-contractor agreements to continue diving lessons and to run softball/baseball camps during 2025; staff said these are program expansions to diversify offerings at Freedom Springs and Sports Park.",{"_33":100,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":101,"_41":102,"_43":103,"_45":104,"_47":105,"_49":106,"_51":107,"_53":108,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":109,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":110,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6247838,"Parks board awards Northeast Park parking-lot contract, cites CDBG funding",288,594000,882000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3212600-dd12d44bca32bcee25eb3e92e3764a71&start=594&end=882","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3212600-dd12d44bca32bcee25eb3e92e3764a71/thumbnail_594000.jpg","/articles/6247838/Greenwood/Johnson-County/Indiana/Parks-board-awards-Northeast-Park-parking-lot-contract-cites-CDBG-funding","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6247838-6e2d8b65bf8f02d909206913cd4eb1ec/orig.mp4?Expires=1775227874&Signature=PPZ9Y9iDJd5tDcyvMHe4CY7mOCq7U-x3E19u~lf6nSic0aFAn-Pke2XM93phed51Kc6nANd7~eoMToJHCdzD3VUi8v0YGfAD045~V2Trql0Z3tVDlxZf4jI8dAWDlK0bEw9CduhQcocensju4x7WIcQkiVHtELk0Gc4-2CQx8HIV5XdNNXMV2dsLk3JKOYcyhkCYwsatWA7Z~pizo24CC82gGN8KkuvJr3NiOfL-GPre-eaI2fA6pOJLE7FDDFR6nnlEPuXSJttn-wdjKpdrpjr7aY5CdJOo4ySbSda5s-6fPJ90VO~w5V4M-6IdSiSPq2im5T6KgUo49Vvnpa1thg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Greenwood Parks and Recreation Board voted May 6, 2025 to award a construction contract for a new parking lot at Northeast Park and said the project will be funded through Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds.

Board members told staff the project will include drainage work intended to remove surface water from a low spot on the park’s north end and will relocate a small shelter, restroom and some playground elements to accommodate the new lot. Staff said the plan included landscaping requirements and that they had requested a waiver from a city landscape ordinance because the ordinance’s tree requirements would have significantly reduced parking capacity.

Staff presented three bids. The transcript records bids of $535,000 from Morphey Construction, $408,224 from All Star Paving and a low responsive bid in the $288,600 range by the recommended bidder. At the meeting the motion awarding the contract cited a contract amount of $288,621 to David O’Meara and said the award was subject to final drafting and review by the City of Greenwood Legal Department. A board member said the team expected construction to wrap up around summertime and that stormwater work was a major component because the site is flat.

Board member Burton made the motion to award the contract; Board member Dietrich seconded the motion. The motion carried with Dietrich and Burton recorded as voting “Aye.” The award is subject to final contract drafting and legal review by the city.

The board packet materials shown at the meeting included an architectural layout and a staff recommendation based on the lowest responsive bid after legal review. Staff said the contract will be administered from park operations budgets and will also use CDBG funding.

If the contractor and the city finalize the contract, staff said they would issue a commencement letter and start work; staff estimated summer completion but did not give a firm completion date.

The board’s action does not finalize landscaping waivers or any required administrative approvals; those items remain dependent on staff follow-up and legal review.","The Greenwood Parks and Recreation Board voted May 6, 2025 to award the Northeast Park parking-lot contract to the lowest responsive bidder and said the project will be funded through Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) dollars; members discussed drainage, landscaping, and a waiver request.","actionData","errors"]
