County Commissioners approve Runyon Sports Complex management restructuring

The Pueblo County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) made a significant move during their April 17 meeting, approving a resolution to revise the organizational structure of the Runyon Sports Complex. This change aims to streamline operations and enhance decision-making efficiency at the facility.

Commissioners discussed the current reporting structure, which placed the Runyon Sports Complex staff under the Parks and Recreation Division of the Department of Public Works. This arrangement has led to delays in purchasing and decision-making, hindering the complex's ability to operate effectively. The new resolution will reassign the general manager of the Runyon Sports Complex to report directly to the County Manager, allowing for quicker approvals and greater authority over administrative decisions.

"This change will provide a more expedited approval process and improve overall operations," said one commissioner, highlighting the importance of the complex to the community. The decision received unanimous support from the board, reflecting a shared commitment to enhancing local sports facilities.

The resolution is expected to foster a more responsive management approach, ultimately benefiting the many residents who utilize the Runyon Sports Complex for various activities. As the community looks forward to these improvements, the commissioners expressed their dedication to ensuring the facility remains a vital part of Pueblo County's recreational landscape.
