Board re-elects officers; divisions report year-end activity and upcoming events
Summary
The Parks and Recreation Board elected officers (nominating Mike Follick for president), heard year-end finance and maintenance reports including 12,000 pansy seeds started and golf-course revenue of about $10,000 for early January, and confirmed the farmers market opening date.
The Richmond Parks and Recreation Board conducted elections for board officers and received several division reports.
Unidentified Speaker (S4) moved that Mike Follick continue his role as president of the park department; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The board then nominated 'Mike' for vice president and approved the nomination by voice vote. Catherine was nominated and approved as secretary.
On division reports, Emma (finance) said 2025 had closed but final year-end numbers were incomplete while staff worked to close remaining purchase orders; she said staff had just begun opening 2026 purchase orders and were operating with a reduced administrative crew. Maintenance staff reported refurbishing 16 picnic tables to date and the floral crew starting 12,000 pansy seeds. Staff also reported early-season golf revenue of about $10,000 from Jan. 1–8.
Members confirmed the farmers market first-day opening on Saturday the 10th and noted promotions and a new farmers-market coordinator are in training. The meeting ended after the board approved routine agenda items and adjourned by voice vote.
