The Todd County Board approved a motion to make the facilities manager the county's point person for Battle Pointe Park. The change formalizes oversight, places maintenance planning under facilities management, and provides the Park Board with a single county contact.

Board members directed the facilities manager to work closely with Public Works on maintenance of the Wobegon Trail and on parking-lot projects that require public-works equipment. Facilities staff said they will attend Park Board meetings (the next meeting was identified in the record as a quarterly meeting scheduled for 7 p.m. the following day) and will bring a detailed maintenance and action plan to the Park Board and the facilities committee.

Staff said collaboration will also include Sentence to Serve (a county program that provides workers for public projects) when appropriate. The board passed the motion by voice vote.

Commissioners who spoke welcomed the facilities manager's involvement and emphasized coordination across departments and with the Park Board to formalize maintenance responsibilities.
