Parks and Rec approves carnival and summer-kickoff supplies, OKs limited food spending
Summary
The board approved $700 for candy and $50 for cotton-candy powder for the upcoming extravaganza and authorized up to $550 for food supplies for the summer kickoff (hot dogs, buns, chips, drinks), with one recorded opposed vote on the latter.
The Denton Parks and Recreation Board approved two motions to buy event supplies for upcoming community events. Committee member (speaker 4) moved to allocate $700 for candy and $50 for cotton-candy powder for the town extravaganza; that motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Later the board considered food and supply needs for the summer kickoff event (popcorn, hot dogs, chips, buns, drinks and condiments). Committee member (speaker 4) moved to authorize up to $550 for those supplies if needed. The motion passed after a second but with at least one member recorded as opposed; the transcript does not provide a roll-call tally or names for the opposed vote.
Board members noted prior-year supply counts (about 100 cotton-candy bags and roughly 150 popcorn bags) and emphasized partnering with local churches or volunteers to staff food distribution and reduce expense. Staff agreed to check inventory, email an updated financial report on remaining event funds and to follow up with churches about volunteering to help serve.
What happens next: staff will place supply orders per the approved motions and will email an updated budget report; board members will follow up with volunteer groups and churches to confirm staffing for the events.
