Park staff to send trash contract for review; mower repairs and Chamber membership discussed
Summary
Staff reported a pending trash contract renewal with a $10 increase, requested permission to arrange mower repairs, and raised the possibility of the park rejoining the local Chamber of Commerce to aid fundraising and promotion.
Park staff told the Henry County Parks Board that the park’s trash contract is being renewed and will include a $10 increase; staff will route the contract to Joel for review and return it to the board for approval.
Staff reported the park’s mower requires additional repair after a new clutch cable was installed; staff asked for permission to contact an equipment service provider (Dentist Equipment or equivalent) to diagnose and repair the mower. The board agreed staff should proceed to arrange repairs.
Staff also described a discussion with the Chamber of Commerce about potential benefits if the park paid membership dues. A Chamber representative offered some promotional benefits and training in exchange for partnership; staff noted the park had been a Chamber member in the past, that membership costs are modest (around $125 for basic membership as discussed) and asked the board to consider membership at a future meeting after staff compiles membership cost/benefit details.
Board members requested staff obtain written membership costs and benefits and bring the information back for a decision at an upcoming meeting. The trash contract and mower-repair actions will be handled by staff and brought back to the board for formal approval if required.
