Ashwaubenon Park and Rec Board accepts pool report and approves playground, lighting, roofing and amenities funding
Summary
At its March 17 meeting the Ashwaubenon Park and Recreation Board accepted the 2025 Community Pool report and approved procurement and funding actions: Lee Recreation for Canterbury Park playground, Vos Electric for Pioneer Park lighting ($162,921, Park Development to cover the overage), Overhead Solutions for roofing ($33,200), and an extra $28,000 in Park Development funds for outdoor amenities.
The Village of Ashwaubenon Park and Recreation Board met March 17 and took a series of approvals covering pool operations, playground equipment, tennis‑court lighting, roofing and park furnishings.
Melody Escoto, the village aquatic supervisor, presented the 2025 Community Pool report and described steady patronage, staff training gained at the national AOAP aquatics conference, and several maintenance projects. "So overall, the pool stayed pretty steady this year," Escoto said, and she noted the facility hosted regional swim events that drew "over 500 swimmers." She also described April 2025 maintenance that closed the pool about two weeks to install new competition‑pool lighting and replace damaged deck tile. The board accepted the report by voice vote.
The board approved the Canterbury Park playground selection, awarding the bid to Lee Recreation (represented in the agenda materials as Burke Equipment) after staff said Lee's design received the most community votes. "All of the six designs were acceptable," staff said, and the board moved to order the highest‑vote option for Canterbury Park.
The largest procurement approved was a Pioneer Park tennis‑court lighting upgrade. Staff presented bids and recommended an alternate from Vos Electric to install six new LED pole assemblies with Musco fixtures, rather than retrofit older poles. The alternate raised the Vos total to $162,921 (the retrofit low bid was $161,596). Staff explained $100,000 in Cornerstone Community Center funding and $150,000 budgeted for the project, leaving roughly $12,921 to be paid from the Park Development account. "That price is still lower than the next bid," staff said, and the board voted to accept the Vos Electric alternate and to have the Park Development fund cover the overage.
The board also awarded reroofing work for Ashwaubenon Lake facilities. Staff recommended rejecting a non‑responsive Prestige Roofing bid and awarding Overhead Solutions a contract of $33,200 (including $300 for ice and water protection). The motion passed with one abstention; staff said building inspectors will perform oversight when work is scheduled.
Finally, the board approved an additional $28,000 in Park Development funding to fully furnish two trail viewing areas and a slab at Waterford Park (benches, picnic tables, heavy‑duty litter receptacles). Staff estimated the total furnishing cost at about $53,000 after shipping; $25,000 had been identified previously.
Actions on bids and funding will go to the Village Board as required by the village’s procurement and budget processes. The meeting concluded with scheduling and follow‑up items and the board’s adjournment.
