Commissioners approve replacement of tennis-court windscreen; staff update disc-golf plans
Summary
Fannin County approved replacing torn windscreens at the tennis courts and heard staff updates on a planned nine-hole disc-golf course at Tom Boyd Park; the windscreen purchase will come from parks funds.
The Fannin County Board of Commissioners authorized replacement of the windscreens at the county tennis courts and heard an update on a planned nine-hole disc-golf course at Tom Boyd Park.
Eddie O'Neil, identified as Fannin County parks/recreation director, requested authorization to purchase and install replacement windscreens from the WindScreen Factory for $5,003.69, to be paid from his splash (park) budget. O'Neil said the vendor would remove the old material, install the new windscreen and that properly installed windscreen material should last about seven years.
Commission discussion was brief; a motion to approve the purchase and installation carried on a voice vote. The transcript records the vendor name as "windscreen factory" and the dollar amount as $5,003.69 (transcript includes extra digits in places; article uses the amount as stated by staff).
O'Neil also described plans for a nine-hole disc-golf course at Tom Boyd Park. He said the course would begin near the park entrance, run downhill across a road and return to the top, and that estimated costs discussed informally during the meeting were about $25,000 to build the full course. O'Neil said some tee-boxes and posts might be installed first and that the course would be open for play once basic elements were in place.
No additional budget amendment beyond the windscreen purchase was recorded on the transcript. Commissioners did not set a further procurement schedule on the record.
