Supervisors highlight new paving, concession stand and aggregate prospects at Little Sue Park
Summary
Board members reported completion of asphalt paving on park roads at Little Sue Park, strong early-season revenue at the new concession stand and discussion of deeper aggregate mining to supply county gravel and potentially expand a lake for recreation and economic activity.
A board member reported that the entrance road and high‑traffic internal roads at Little Sue Park have been paved and that the park’s new concession stand — open for roughly two months — has attracted heavy use.
The speaker, identified in the meeting as Mark, said the freshly paved surface noticeably improves access for pickups and campers and that the concession stand’s visible blue roof and convenient location boosted sales at the end of the season. He urged residents to attend a family trick‑or‑treat event at the park scheduled for Oct. 18.
Board discussion shifted to the county’s aggregate supply for road maintenance. Mark said contractor Bedrock and operations led by Laura Severs have been hauling rock but are moving into deeper material that lies under sand, which will be harder to access. Board members discussed options for moving the sand or otherwise accessing larger aggregate sizes to improve maintenance gravel (with a goal of six inches of base) and noted that enlarging a lake there could provide recreational benefits with access from Highway 20.
The comments were presented as a supervisor’s report; no formal action or funding decision was made during the meeting. Board members praised staff and contractors for the work and directed staff to continue monitoring progress ahead of winter maintenance.
