Three Oaks parks board forms committee to update five-year parks plan, allocates $10,000 for upgrades
Summary
The board appointed a three-person committee to update the parks and recreation five-year plan due Feb. 2028, named committee members, outlined 2026 tasks and quarterly updates, and noted a $10,000 fee-for-service will be applied to park upgrades; specific projects listed include a replacement tree at Dewey Cannon and playground additions at Dillard.
The Village of Three Oaks Parks and Recreation Board agreed Feb. 2 to a process and timeline to update its five-year parks and recreation plan, due Feb. 2028, and recorded a $10,000 fee-for-service to be applied to park upgrades.
Joan Brown committed to participate in the update. The board named a three-person committee — Marlene Kramer, Brian Overley and Joan Brown — to identify goals completed under the current plan and those that can be completed by the end of 2027, submit quarterly updates to the board, and coordinate the update as a joint effort with the township. The minutes say the committee should target defined small projects for completion by 2027.
The minutes list near-term project priorities: a replacement tree at Dewey Cannon, addition of playground items at Dillard, and maintenance/replacement work at Timber Town (noted as replacements discussed in 2025, e.g., chains). Joan Brown is to coordinate and write the plan, complying with MiGrant's outline, and will work with committee members Brian Overley and Marlene Kramer.
The board recorded that the five-year plan fee-for-service of $10,000 will be applied to park upgrades "as previously planned." The committee is expected to submit quarterly updates and request further input from the board as it develops the plan; the minutes do not record a formal vote on the committee assignment or the fee allocation.
