Summary
Aaron Zumbach’s Monroe Park restroom and concession facility plans were discussed; board member Kari Dearborn said she has contacted a high-school representative about concession plans. Members also discussed regrading and drainage at Monroe Park and noted a Lions Club donation to replace a merry-go-round and add teeter-totters.
The Anamosa City Parks & Recreation Board discussed plans for Monroe Park on July 1, including proposed bathroom and concession-facility work and related drainage and playground improvements.
Aaron Zumbach is listed on the agenda in connection with the Monroe Park bathrooms and concession-facility addition. Board member Kari Dearborn told the group she had reached out to Steph Hora at the high school to discuss concession-stand plans but had not yet received a response. The board indicated further follow-up was needed before firming up proposals.
Separately, members discussed cutting sod and regrading the shelter grounds at Monroe Park to improve drainage; the transcript records the board briefly raising the possibility of using prison labor for the site work. The Lions Club has donated funds to replace and update the park’s merry-go-round and to add teeter-totters, and members discussed coordinating those upgrades with drainage and surface work.
The board identified follow-up actions including outreach to the high school contact, a deeper review of site requirements and stipulations, and scheduling any consultant or contractor visits. No formal vote or contract award related to Monroe Park appears in the provided transcript excerpt.
