Chillicothe council approves $30,000 for disc golf park at Goldie A. Gunlock Memorial Park
Summary
On Jan. 27 the Chillicothe City Council adopted a third-reading ordinance authorizing $30,000 to build a disc golf park at Goldie A. Gunlock Memorial Park in partnership with Project Bad Apple; the measure passed on a 5-1 roll call.
On Jan. 27, 2025, the Chillicothe City Council adopted a third-reading ordinance appropriating $30,000 for construction of a disc golf park at Goldie A. Gunlock Memorial Park, noting the project would proceed in partnership with Project Bad Apple.
The ordinance was read on third reading and then put to a roll-call vote. The clerk recorded Councilmember Bennett voting no and Councilmembers Nickerson, Barnes, McKeever, DeMint and Preston voting yes; the ordinance was adopted. The council did not provide the text of any conditions or implementation timeline during the meeting.
Community affairs committee Chair Bennett had described the item on the agenda earlier as one of several nonprofit- and park-related items the committee was advancing. The ordinance text in the meeting record names the park and Project Bad Apple as project partners; it does not specify contractor, timeline, or a break-down of the $30,000 appropriation.
No public comments addressing the disc golf appropriation were made during the meeting. Other agenda items tied to nonprofit awards and opioid-settlement allocations were discussed but were moved to subsequent agendas for further language or second readings.
The council adjourned at the close of the evening’s business; no follow-up date for final project implementation was stated in the meeting record.
