Committee recommends Eagle Scout gaga‑pit project, suggests park impact fees as funding option
Summary
The committee recommended that the village board approve an Eagle Scout proposal to build a movable gaga pit, noting park impact fees and parks building maintenance funds as possible funding sources and that the structure could be relocated if master‑plan changes require it.
The Parks and Recreation Committee voted Feb. 23 to recommend approval of an Eagle Scout project to construct a movable gaga pit at a village park and to forward the request to the village board for final funding decisions.
Staff described the project and said the pit would be movable so it can be relocated if future master‑planning requires. Committee members discussed funding sources: park impact fees (a portion of which is designated for development), parks building maintenance funds, or board direction on funding. Staff noted recent park impact fee receipts from a new subdivision and that prior impact‑fee expenditures included smaller maintenance projects such as roof repairs.
The committee unanimously recommended approval and asked staff to include the item in the board packet for final authorization of funds.
