Proposed fee increases and disc-golf path review highlighted in PRC's project updates
Summary
The County Manager's proposed budget asks departments to seek cost reductions and includes proposed fee increases for adult programming, tournament reservations and shelter reservations; Chair Trevor Robinson reported follow-up on a disc-golf route review with the New Hope Bird Alliance and others, with staff seeking a compromise and a final design for fall construction.
The council heard that the County Manager presented a proposed budget to the Board of County Commissioners on May 5 and asked departments to explore additional cost reductions. The proposed budget includes increases to fees for adult programming, tournament reservations and shelter reservations; council members were told department revenues and expenses will be reevaluated as part of that process.
Chair Trevor Robinson updated the council on a disc-golf consultation that included representatives from the New Hope Bird Alliance, disc-golf advocates, DEAPR staff and a professional facilitator. Robinson said the group walked the proposed path to identify sections that may need relocation; staff indicated hope for a compromise and for adopting a final design that would allow construction to begin in the fall.
No fee changes were adopted at the PRC meeting; the PRC recorded the budget direction and will await BOCC budget decisions. No formal vote on the disc-golf design was recorded; staff will continue outreach and refinement.
