Conservation department warns cabin rental revenues may not cover operating expenses
Summary
Conservation Director Bruce Haag and board member Ron Mullenger told supervisors that My County Parks cabin rentals will go live in December, but expressed concern that operating expenses may exceed revenues and that proposed 2026–2027 rental rates may be too low after taxes.
Conservation Director Bruce Haag and board member Ron Mullenger told the Audubon County Board Nov. 18 that the county’s My County Parks cabin-rental listings are set to go live for booking in December. They presented a draft breakdown suggesting operating expenses currently exceed cabin revenues and warned that the proposed 2026–2027 rental rates may be too low once taxes are taken into account.
Mullenger emphasized that the Conservation Department has completed many projects in-house, which has saved the county money. Supervisors asked questions about operating expenses and rates; the minutes indicate a rough revenue/expense breakdown was drafted during the meeting but do not record a final pricing decision.
The conversation was informational and supervisory; no policy change or rate adoption is recorded in the minutes excerpt.
