County approves fence and shelter funding for Garfield Lake Park; community donors provide materials funding
Summary
Hubbard County authorized accepting a vendor quote to install required fencing at Garfield Lake Park and accepted donor funds to cover a 12x20 open shelter kit and materials.
The board approved accepting a vendor quote to supply fencing for Garfield Lake Park and recorded donations to underwrite a 12-by-20-foot open picnic shelter.
Parks staff said the conditional use permit requires 300 feet of fencing to be installed by next fall. The low materials quote to supply fence and accessories was $5,034 from Oberg Fence; county staff said park personnel will install the fence in-house to control costs. Commissioners approved the materials purchase by voice vote.
Earlier on the consent agenda, the board accepted $2,500 from the La Porte Lions Club and $1,500 from the Garfield Lake Ice Racers Club to cover supplies for the shelter kit. County staff said the shelter will arrive as a kit and county parks crews expect to assemble it.
Why it matters: The actions move a community-led park improvement forward with donated funds and county labor, meeting permit conditions while minimizing county cash outlay.
Parks staff said the community is enthusiastic about the new play area and picnic shelter; they described the shelter as a modest, low-cost amenity rather than a large development.
