Steele County Park Board approves purchases and sets Golden Lake Acres opening and operator pay
Summary
The Steele County Park Board approved new kitchen equipment and a stove purchase, ordered a replacement west door, set Jake Dickson's pay at $20 per hour, and heard that Golden Lake Acres will officially open May 11 with a soft opening beforehand.
The Steele County Park Board met during a recess of the Steele County Commission on April 3 and approved several items to ready Golden Lake Acres for the 2018 season.
Park Board member Jake Dickson reported that new flooring has been installed at Golden Lake Acres and said he plans an official opening on May 11 with a soft opening in the weeks prior. The board approved Dickson’s quotes for new kitchen items, including a new range and ice machine, and authorized purchase of the range and related items from Culinex. The board also approved replacing the west door with a full door and sidelights (blinds included) and set Dickson’s pay for work performed at Golden Lake at $20 per hour.
Why it matters: The purchases and personnel decisions are intended to prepare park facilities for the upcoming season and clarify compensation for on‑site work.
Auditor Emily Wigen will compile a list of duties and estimated hours for mowing previously performed, and Park Board member Paul Kroeplin said he would inspect potential deck repairs at the store. The board voted on the purchases and pay rate by motions that passed unanimously.
Next steps: Vendor purchases to be completed, door replacement and any necessary deck repairs to be scheduled, and preparations to continue ahead of the May opening date.
