Commissioners prepare for Reeser Family Foundation site visit on Omegas Park restroom grant

City staff told the Parks Commission Oct. 2 that the city submitted a $55,000 grant application to the Reeser Family Foundation to support a restroom project at Omegas Park and that foundation staff will conduct a site visit Oct. 15.

Commissioners encouraged compiling available event and special‑event attendance data, including estimates on special event applications that list expected attendees, to show park usage during the site visit. Staff said they had pulled special event application attendance estimates for prior events and offered to share those numbers with commissioners who plan to attend the Oct. 15 visit.

No action was taken at the work session beyond confirming the site visit and encouraging commissioners and volunteer partners to be available to present park usage, Adopt a Park accomplishments and planned improvements. Staff and commissioners said additional fundraising and grant-seeking will continue alongside volunteer support for park improvements.
