\"We have 15 trees that are set to be planted,\" Schulte said, identifying Johnson Lake as one of the park sites. He said the grant will purchase trees, installation, mulch rings and tree watering bags; post-installation watering will be required but the grant covers the upfront costs.

Schulte said plantings will focus on native species only, per IDNR grant terms, and that maple trees are excluded as they are considered overrepresented. He said the vendor River City Nursery has an accepted bid and staff are coordinating a start date.

City staff told the board the grant is a reimbursement grant with no net cost to the parks department; the Mayor’s office and Redevelopment Commission will process acceptance and payment of claims. Tony Steinhardt noted the Redevelopment Commission will accept the grant next week and staff will coordinate implementation and payment processing with the Tree Board.

Board members thanked Schulte and the Tree Board. No action was required at the Park Board meeting; staff will coordinate timing and watering responsibilities with parks maintenance and an intern resource was mentioned as a possible watering contact.

This planting represents the implementation phase of the grant; staff and the Tree Board will share maps showing exact planting locations and species with the board.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","City of Madison Parks Board Meeting - June 4, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Glenn Schulte of the Madison Tree Board told the Park Board a roughly $50,000 Indiana Department of Natural Resources grant will fund 15 trees at Johnson Lake Park and additional plantings on West Third Street, the Georgetown District and the Heritage Trail; the Redevelopment Commission will accept the reimbursement grant next week.","taxTitle","Madison City, Jefferson County, Indiana","taxId",52166,"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},6215389,"Parks staff plan temporary bridge at Sunrise golf course; John Paul Park needs infield mix",130,638000,768000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3661608-355f75bc8351a87cbc12ca78522f7aca&start=638&end=768","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3661608-355f75bc8351a87cbc12ca78522f7aca/thumbnail_638000.jpg","/articles/6215389/Madison-City/Jefferson-County/Indiana/Parks-staff-plan-temporary-bridge-at-Sunrise-golf-course-John-Paul-Park-needs-infield-mix","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6215389-7f42e3de31ce3e5b621dd1fc61fb875f/orig.mp4?Expires=1771105747&Signature=E55skJF1zqEKdnOkcMdB4G6ooxHNCHuLPLE6D2gXp5tIy-a87ZBrTkuSptgHso1ZeBjw0Sosv2G9BhKX7RxRYlMjkGCLKn-Ts~ls-fiMb79hMGhuLTHpNHU4do83fzUHNt7cX-Q6rFdOmwyTZjgDj92ehy8p3s1lhLDheEDWdjfycytLu~8-di4F8F4zIHioUSwDxvu6~pUnla5GGWzMlBKOVSfXPY7ceCd9NZ86JdeP-kTf7hMqHuaLpwifxcd5t0VQSfv9n9L9aYTNHkSf59uebcpLfwfodp9RQQxefdtglW61jhDmmKkeh7EAvG7E0ZcN0WkrmF-uovTgvQ7BIA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Christian Hansen, parks maintenance staff, told the Madison City Park Board the damaged bridge at the Sunrise golf course will be repaired in two phases: a near-term in-house replacement of the culvert and gravel temporary surface, and a fuller reconstruction in fall or winter.

\"We're gonna dig out the culvert, replace the culvert, and just gravel it for now,\" Hansen said, adding the city is coordinating with the street department for equipment and labor. He said two contractor estimates suggested material-only costs around $1,000–$1,500 plus labor and equipment, while full replacement estimates approached the low $20,000s. \"I know we can do it much cheaper than that,\" Hansen said, describing the in-house plan to open the crossing quickly because barriers have been repeatedly moved by the public.

Hansen confirmed funds exist in the Sunrise grounds and maintenance line sufficient to pay for the immediate materials: \"we have a grounds and maintenance line in Sunrise that had, like, $4,000.\" He said the temporary fix will be followed by additional work to build bulkheads and a concrete or gravel slab for a permanent bridge.

Separately, Hansen said John Paul Park fields need additional infield mix; he estimated roughly $6,000 in material would be required to get the park into “tip-top” condition. He said he had already spent his allotment at one facility and anticipated donations of volunteer tree service and infield materials from community groups; board members discussed donation options and possible reallocation of maintenance funds.

No formal motions or transfers were approved; staff indicated they would schedule the in-house culvert work with the street department and report back with cost estimates. The board did not set a firm budget appropriation during the meeting.","Parks maintenance staff reported plans to replace a culvert and install a temporary gravel bridge at the Sunrise golf course, with longer repairs slated for fall; staff also requested roughly $6,000 in material to replenish John Paul Park infields.",{"_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},6215393,"Sunrise golf course posts mixed spring revenues; manager presses youth programs and sponsorships",561,935000,1496000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3661608-355f75bc8351a87cbc12ca78522f7aca&start=935&end=1496","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3661608-355f75bc8351a87cbc12ca78522f7aca/thumbnail_935000.jpg","/articles/6215393/Madison-City/Jefferson-County/Indiana/Sunrise-golf-course-posts-mixed-spring-revenues-manager-presses-youth-programs-and-sponsorships","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6215393-b83a87fcd7f74fda21b87a4cab596ac0/orig.mp4?Expires=1771105747&Signature=o-2sfUKT0GBtccw4xaQp9rEaQmmgmYQ2LyoLEDB5eMbg3hYKjICSId0qGDBv1C85r7IYPViw1q3dIsDh7kSTFRcGhSBZbcoNwS34F~UR7w9gJNndxOjcdEdoS1MRnsJxVXVe1eAfOCLab5zNVGrubxjQfWLa42HTy0t7moZUeoP3pnafj3LYnz6Nwz0RkBV7lAVrCz4wYn1KP9QoHzhkWvc-VkCaMncKR~4iuExNzaPC3F3SK4FyCynVoyX0GRUehDn6SSwmljDO4rY2tdDnTFciyM7EOmJSdTyaK8dNMfS-1sSJyOnzCRFaICALfpLi5jrOoeDNqlQcPxoNj1GojA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Roger Gallatin, Sunrise golf course manager, told the Madison City Park Board that May revenues exceeded 2024 receipts but fell short of ambitious 2025 targets; he said improved online booking and promotions are increasing rounds and that youth programming could expand play and community engagement.

\"In May... between green fees, cart fees, food and bev, we did $47,000,\" Gallatin said, noting the month beat 2024 by about $2,000 but remained below his target. He said May weather cost the course revenue, but early June showed improvement with month-to-date totals above his target.

Gallatin said he is working to produce a golf-specific profit-and-loss statement to better align appropriation line items with course needs; he told the board he found the current appropriations lacked golf-specific lines such as credit card fees. \"I'm really gonna drill down into our expense line items and our appropriation stuff,\" he said.

On programming, Gallatin reported strong interest in First Tee youth instruction and an anticipated 40–50 participants for an upcoming session. He recommended registering through the First Tee national portal to access subsidized fees. He also described plans to pilot a PGA Junior League team if local interest and travel logistics permit.

Gallatin discussed promotions including online booking through GolfNow and barter-based radio promotions to draw players from nearby markets. He also said sponsorship sales for hole signs were active with two prospects and a one-year sponsorship price of $1,200.

Board members asked for expense reporting to compare revenue against costs; Gallatin agreed to produce a more detailed P&L. No formal budget votes or policy changes were made.

Gallatin said the course is tracking rounds closely as the key volume metric; his target remains approximately 18,000 rounds for the year. He also noted concessions have been run tightly using prior inventory to limit food costs.

No formal actions were taken; staff were asked to provide more-detailed expense reporting at a future meeting.","Sunrise golf manager reported May revenues beating last year but falling short of aggressive targets; staff highlighted First Tee and PGA Junior League efforts and sought clearer expense line items for budgeting.",{"_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},6215398,"Residents urge later pool hours, clearer signage as Crystal Beach reopens",203,191000,394000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3661608-355f75bc8351a87cbc12ca78522f7aca&start=191&end=394","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3661608-355f75bc8351a87cbc12ca78522f7aca/thumbnail_191000.jpg","/articles/6215398/Madison-City/Jefferson-County/Indiana/Residents-urge-later-pool-hours-clearer-signage-as-Crystal-Beach-reopens","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6215398-01b6002bf1d41c4ebd163361a8d9e44c/orig.mp4?Expires=1771105747&Signature=jIttN6j44ThFyOetFxntmn3oHpNSaFP5zXmZJBo4aJKL2MqEjdya02ae4SY2SYqCXzP5TcJW7q0yWG6q~q2e8EsYkexFJ6ORLBvzTOe8T1~pA2t-7NiGMZ2VYH59HnmOFkxPjd1SAblN7UhiwkW5qPGL2hSu4wjBiF3G1akNOYdZvHKpcOlse5Lc3~RhO68vBCb4NdFDCoUKeebE8M1O8FKNBujEmqc~cqK1Z2Sgjy-PAT5FUIjOxAyKW-ElNYYbUOb5arVru3GEStyB2d8eiDgFZgXuGLjN6BMvLa7I2RWWDjfH0q55k-QndQKKHvV7j11LlizwIRxXwIxJIWIQkQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Madison City Park Board members heard staff reports that Crystal Beach opened to heavy use and initial revenues, and residents urged changes to hours, signage and online information to make the pool more accessible to working families.

Tanya Burnett, parks operations staff, told the board Crystal Beach’s concessions and admissions brought in $19,683.16 in the first five days after opening and that the facility passed health department inspections. “We should have profit and loss for the campground and Crystal Beach” by the July meeting, she said, noting staff are still refining reporting from the new registration and point-of-sale software.

The revenue and operations updates were followed by public comment. Lisa Ferguson, a Madison resident, said the pool’s weekday schedule excludes many two-income families because the facility closes at 6 p.m. “Working families cannot come to the pool Monday through Friday,” she said, urging the board to explore sponsored late-night openings so people who work until 5 p.m. can swim later. Ferguson also asked for clearer signage and posted prices so visitors understand Crystal Beach is a public pool and know current admission rates.

Jan Vatrous, another resident, urged staff to examine how programming and lessons are scheduled to allow simultaneous swim lessons, fitness classes and family swim. “It is a huge pool compared to normal pools. There are ways to include multiple things going on at that pool,” she said, while also warning that running lessons and open swim at the same time raises lifeguard staffing and safety challenges.

Board members and staff discussed trade-offs. Burnett said swim lessons and some evening classes already run late — “they are full” and run until nearly 8 p.m. — and lifeguard and instructor schedules affect the feasibility of extended public swim hours. Christian Hansen, parks maintenance staff, deferred operational scheduling details to lifeguarding and programming staff but confirmed the pool’s chemical systems and related technical work had been completed and the pool “is packed.”

Burnett noted upcoming programs and events that affect hours and staffing: swim lessons begin June 9, junior lifeguarding spots remain, and the next Mayor’s movie in the park is set for June 20. She also said parade staging will move south of Main Street this year to ease congestion; parade applications are due June 20 at madison-in.gov/parade.

No formal action or vote on pool hours, signage or extended evening openings occurred during the meeting. Board members asked staff to review programming and staffing options and to confirm that admission prices and hours are posted on the website and on-site.

Residents and board members said the public should be included in future planning about schedules and neighborhood impacts.

The board will next meet July 2 at 4:00 p.m.","Madison City Park Board heard staff updates showing strong early-season attendance at Crystal Beach and heard public comments urging later evening hours, clearer signage that the facility is public, and better online pricing information.","actionData","errors"]
