The committee reviewed several informational and budget items for 2026, including Reed Golf Course revenue and expense reports, the Reed Golf Course 2026 proposed budget, the Parks & Recreation 2026 proposed budget and special revenue funds.
Director Gaza told the committee Reed Golf Course revenues are exceeding last year’s figures and expenses are in line with expectations; he added the course’s debt is nearly paid off. The department presented a status-quo parks budget intended to maintain existing services and noted a plan to add an additional playground site after a public survey determines the best location. Special revenue funds include donations held for future projects; no funds were proposed for use this year.
Committee members asked about schedule timing for items tied to the naming policy and renaming process; Director Gaza said the department will adjust administrative timelines to align with council action. No formal vote was taken on budget items during the meeting; they were presented for review ahead of the upcoming budget process.
