Board approves routine bills, special-project payment and a change order; motions summarized
Summary
The Stark County Park Board approved the general fund disbursement of $1,319.33, a special-project payment of $12,962.50 for Willy Goat equipment, and change order #4 for $1,931.07 to cover a building permit fee. The board also approved proceeding with the Speedway RFP and the SRF grant application for the Dickinson trail (contingent).
The Stark County Park Board addressed routine financial items and approved multiple motions during the meeting. Key approvals included a general fund payment of $1,319.33, a special-project fund payment of $12,962.50 for final Willy Goat equipment associated with Lakeview Park, and a change order (#4) of $1,931.07 to cover a building permit fee related to the Livestock Building project.
The board also voted to proceed with a $5,000 SRF contract to prepare a federal grant application (80% federal / 20% local) for a trail project in partnership with Dickinson Parks and Rec — the motion was contingent on Dickinson’s contribution of $2,500 toward the SRF fee. Separately, commissioners approved issuing the RFP to lease and operate the motorsports facility, subject to staff and administrator review.
Votes and motions: the meeting record shows motions were moved and seconded on each item and carried by voice or roll-call affirmation. Where roll-call-style confirmation occurred, the transcript records commissioners saying "aye" in sequence; full individual roll-call tallies by name were not captured in a formal tabulation in the transcript.
What this means: approved payments will proceed and the county will engage SRF on the trail planning and issue an RFP to solicit operators for the motorsports facility. The change order payment enables the Livestock Building permit process to move forward; staff noted they were told permit fees might be waived but chose to approve payment to avoid delaying construction.
Next steps: staff will execute vendor payments and the SRF contract, finalize and publish the RFP and return to the board with proposals and estimates as they arrive.
