Mulga approves $2,200 for Park Board structures after successful haunted trail; Block Party and dumpster bids discussed
Summary
The Mulga Town Council approved $2,200 to help the Park Board build permanent structures for next year’s haunted trail after Park Board President Gage Kelley reported the event’s success. The council also discussed a town Block Party for Aug. 9, 2025 (backup Aug. 16) and agreed to put dumpster trailers out for bid.
Gage Kelley, president of the Mulga Park Board, told the council that the town’s haunted trail was successful this year and that the board wants to expand it by building several permanent, lockable structures that could double as storage. He said the Park Board budget for the haunted trail is $7,500 and that lumber alone was estimated at $4,254; he asked whether the town would split the material cost.
Council member Lisa Armstrong moved to approve $2,200 from town funds for the Park Board to purchase materials for the structures. Rachel Davis seconded the motion; it passed by roll-call vote (District 1: Yes; District 2: Absent; District 3: Yes; District 4: Yes; District 5: Yes; Mayor: Yes).
Separately, the mayor said dumpster trailers will need to be put out for bid, and the council discussed plans for a town Block Party scheduled for Aug. 9, 2025, with Aug. 16 as a backup date; the town plans to reach out to food trucks, the Red Cross, churches, the Fire Department and the Mulga Park Board for participation.
Council member Jeremy Davis raised resident complaints about people unloading garbage from train cars; Mayor Varner told residents the issue should be directed to Jefferson County. The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn.
