At its meeting the Bedford parks board approved routine claims, accepted a volunteer waiver for community volunteers, approved a schedule change for upcoming golf tournaments and heard director reports on parks, recreation and golf programs.
On older-business, the board accepted a change to the 2026 golf tournament schedule to add two Friday shotgun starts (requested by two groups for July 10 and Aug. 7). The board also approved a volunteer waiver, described by staff as a form drafted by Greg that shifts volunteer liability away from the municipality for activities such as painting a community art box.
Votes taken on routine matters were conducted by voice and recorded as passed in the meeting minutes; exact roll-call tallies were not provided in the transcript. The park director reported maintenance work including sealcoating the Thornton maintenance building, roof repairs, bench repairs at Edgewood Park, cemetery tree trimming and playground mulch. The recreation director shared pool hours, lap swim and aquacise schedules and fees ($2 per session, $20/month, $50/season), announced a July 31 luau and upcoming trips (June 26 to Churchill Downs and July 22 to an Indianapolis Indians game). The golf pro reported on junior camps and named recent city-championship winners.
With no additional business the board adjourned.
