Parks board approves foundation donation request for Hops and Vines event

The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board voted to approve an in-kind donation request from the parks foundation for the annual Hops and Vines event. The request included facility uses and passes; the total value listed on the request form as read at the meeting was recorded in the packet as "$10.69" (as presented to the board), and staff did not clarify that figure in the discussion. A board member moved to approve the request and a second was recorded. The clerk conducted a roll call; board members Jane Ross, Anne Shepherd, Christy Kaminski, Marvin McCluskey and Donovan each voted “yes,” and the motion carried. Staff said the donated items typically are auctioned or raffled by the foundation. The items listed in the request packet included a four-hour rental of a city shelter, family pool passes and nine-hole golf course passes. Board members asked whether the request was the same as prior years and staff replied it matched last year’s submittal. No additional conditions or follow-up tasks were recorded in the minutes; the board moved on to the director’s report after the vote.
