The Bloomington Board of Park Commissioners approved a partnership agreement with Lake Monroe Sailing Association that staff said has run since 1996 and provides sailing instruction for youths and adults. Recreation facilities general manager Sean Marler told the board the program typically grosses about $70,000 in total revenue, carries roughly $60,000 in expenses and yields about $10,000 net revenue for the parks department.
Marler said the longstanding arrangement allows the department to offer sailing classes without running the program in‑house, and that staff recommend continuing the partnership. Board members moved and approved the agreement by voice vote.
Staff did not provide additional program details in the meeting, but said they would answer follow‑up questions about schedules and registration if commissioners requested them.
