The West Bend City Parks and Recreation Commission recorded several formal outcomes at its June 27 meeting.
Key actions and outcomes
• AquaGlide inflatable proposal: The commission voted to forward the AquaGlide inflatable park proposal for Regner Beach to the common council for consideration and implementation in 2025. (Motion: forward proposal to council; mover: Chair; second: commissioner; outcome: approved by voice vote; exact tally not specified.)
• PARC fund transfer for street-tree replacement: The commission approved a resolution transferring PARC fund balances to pay a portion of an invoice for tree planting under the city’s tree surety contract. Staff reported the transfer applied against a balance of $9,870.70 designated for park tree planting; the planting contract covered 275 trees with a total contract amount reported later in the meeting at about $80,500. (Resolution approved by voice vote; exact tally not specified.)
• Fall 2024 program fees: Commissioners approved the fall program fee schedule presented by Ryan and Mike. Changes included a new fee structure for archery and consistent resident/nonresident pricing for several youth programs; specific program fees (for example, youth dance resident fee $98, nonresident $147) were presented during the discussion. (Motion to approve fee schedule; outcome: approved by voice vote.)
• Special events and permits: The commission approved the West Bend Chamber Cash Bash (including waiving facility fees) and the customary insurance and permits requirements; the motion carried by voice vote.
• Donations: The commission accepted multiple donations acknowledged at the meeting, including $4,048.99 from Fox Brothers Piggly Wiggly (Slinger) for Special Olympics proceeds; $5,000 from Bank 59 as a presenting sponsor of the Dirty Ninja Mud Run for Kids; $5,000 from Westbury Bank Charitable Foundation toward beach house renovation; $2,742.50 from West Bend Friends of Parks and Recreation for participant T-shirts; and contributions totaling $19,228 from Friends of Lac La Grande Conservancy for a solar light, a concrete ramp replacement and barn-door carpentry. Horicon Bank committed $7,500 to sponsor the July 4 fireworks and A & W Iron and Metal donated an AED valued at $1,300 for Quass Creek Park athletic complex. The commission voted to accept the listed donations.
Procedural notes: Most votes were taken by voice vote; the transcript does not record roll-call tallies or named individual votes for the actions above. When precise vote counts were not provided, the meeting record shows motions, seconds and the chair’s call for “aye” or “opposed” with the chair stating the motion carried.
Items that advanced or require further action: The AquaGlide proposal was forwarded to the common council for its approval on contract and funding decisions; the PARC fund transfer and fee schedule actions were approved at the commission level and will be reflected in departmental accounting and program materials.
