Richlands approves Kruger Sheet Metal contract for Don Cardone project

The Spokane Park Board convened on June 12, 2025, to discuss several key agenda items, including financial updates, project approvals, and staff acknowledgments. The meeting began with a presentation on the Kruger Sheet Metal Company construction contract for the Don Cardone interpretive signage and fabrication project, which was approved unanimously for a total of $47,866.05.

Following this, Richlands presented the May financials, noting that Riverfront Park managed to offset a decrease in revenue with a corresponding reduction in expenditures compared to May 2024. The recreation team also reported a revenue increase alongside a decrease in operating expenses, highlighting effective teamwork. The next finance meeting is scheduled for July 8 at 3 PM, to be held at the Riverfront Park Pavilion Conference Room and available via Webex.

The board also addressed the upcoming DVC meeting, which will take place on July 9 at noon, also at Riverfront Park Pavilion. The stand-in president emphasized the importance of staff contributions as the park season approaches, acknowledging their efforts in preparing for increased visitor activity, particularly among children eager to utilize park facilities.

In addition, the president encouraged the formation of volunteer groups, particularly for Riverfront Park, to foster community involvement and support for park maintenance and activities. The meeting concluded with a call for community engagement and appreciation for the staff's readiness for the busy season ahead.
