Summary
At the Jan. 14 meeting the board scheduled a master plan meeting for Feb. 18, approved Dec. 10 minutes and warrants (including $130,335.53 in pass‑through funds), and discussed converting playground bark surfacing to poured‑in‑place rubber for wheelchair access.
Wasatch County Parks and Recreation’s board on Jan. 14 set the first master plan public meeting for Feb. 18 at 1 p.m., with staff continuing grant work and an expected grant‑award determination in March.
A county staff member described broader grant applications that include the master plan, LED lighting and playground/tree initiatives. The board asked staff to confirm email notifications to members about the meeting schedule.
During capital and operations discussion, staff described a proposed playground upgrade from bark “soft fall” to poured‑in‑place rubber surfacing installed over recessed concrete to provide wheelchair access and a fully inclusive play surface. Staff said the poured‑in‑place surfacing would replace bark around existing equipment and improve accessibility for adaptive users.
The board reviewed warrants and highlighted pass‑through items totaling $130,335.53; staff explained pass‑throughs bring money into county accounts and then disburse it rather than draw on county taxpayer dollars. The board moved and seconded approval of the December 10 minutes and the warrants; both motions passed by voice vote.
No further substantive business was raised and the board adjourned after confirming upcoming event dates and permitting expectations for the Skijoring event.
