Slinger board weighs $20,500 bid to update park and open space plan; 2026 capital projects discussed
Summary
Director Tony Dobson presented a $20,500 bid from Vandewalle & Associates to update the village five‑year park and open space plan; the board discussed possible 2026 capital projects (pavilion expansion, Breuer Park improvements, natural playground) and will revisit costs at the September meeting.
The Parks, Recreation & Forestry Board discussed planning and capital priorities for the 2026 budget at its Aug. 4, 2025 meeting.
Director Tony Dobson told members he does not yet have projected budget numbers for 2026 and will email proposed figures to the board before the September meeting. Dobson presented a bid from Vandewalle & Associates to update the five‑year park and open space plan at a cost of $20,500, and said optional add‑ons — a Community Park site design plan and an online community survey — will be considered when the board meets in September.
The nut graf: board members discussed several possible capital projects, including an expansion to the Rotary Park pavilion, a shed and basketball courts at Breuer Park, and a natural playground at Fireman’s Park, but no budget figures or formal approvals were adopted; the plan update bid will return for further consideration.
No motions to approve the bid or to allocate funds were made. Dobson said he will return the plan bid and budget projections for discussion at the September meeting.
