City staff thanks school board after donation for Riverside Park, summer programs and Greenbelt signage
Summary
City communications administrator Steve Korrup publicly thanked the Green River School Board and reported donations to city parks and programs, including $100,000 toward Riverside Park, support for summer swim and after-school programs, and $50,000 to the Greenbelt Task Force.
Steve Korrup, the city's communications administrator, publicly thanked the Green River School Board during the meeting after reporting several recent contributions to city programs and projects.
Korrup said the donor will replace archery targets at the outdoor archery range and contributed $100,000 toward the Riverside Park project; the gift will be split across two fiscal years after the donor elected to fund half this year and half next. "They gave the city of Green River 100000 dollars for our Riverside Park project... they decided they would split that in 2 different fiscal years," Korrup said. He added the donor also funded the summer swim program (noting the program serves more than 100 children) and helped fund the city's after-school summer program.
Korrup additionally reported the donor provided $50,000 to the Greenbelt Task Force for signage and water stations. He closed by saying he wanted to publicly thank the Green River School Board for the long-standing cooperative relationship with the city.
What was said and what remains unspecified: Korrup described the donor in the record with the terms "rec mill" and later referenced the Green River School Board; the meeting record does not provide a formal donor name beyond those references, nor does it supply precise fiscal-year accounting or any formal agreement terms.
Why it matters: the reported funds support parks and recreation assets and programs used by residents and children, including infrastructure at Riverside Park, summer swim lessons and after-school programming, and Greenbelt amenities.
Next steps: staff and council did not record any formal action tied to the donations during the meeting; the report was presented as information and publicly acknowledged.
