Summary
At its June 17 meeting the Juneau Recreation Committee approved selling a disc‑golf hole and discs for $150, discussed a new field sponsorship and grant outreach for park improvements, and reviewed program, staffing and outreach items. Vote tallies were not specified in the minutes.
The Juneau Recreation Committee on June 17 approved the sale of a disc‑golf hole and accompanying discs for $150 and reviewed a series of program and sponsorship updates.
Committee minutes record that the motion to sell the disc‑golf equipment passed on a motion by White, seconded by Nehls‑Rennhack; the minutes state "Motion carried" but do not list individual roll‑call tallies. The approval was taken as part of routine business during the meeting at the Juneau Community Center, which began at 5:33 p.m.
The Recreation & Program Coordinator reported a sponsorship commitment from Justmann Building & Trim for Field 2 at Wild Goose Park and said staff is meeting with Modern Woodman of America to pursue a Do‑Good grant for park improvements. The coordinator also reported that rotating programs have started with attendance "well for now," that open gyms and private volleyball sessions are active, and that the summer assistant is "enjoying the role so far." The minutes do not include direct quotes beyond the coordinator notes recorded in the agenda items.
Committee members discussed outreach to local media and partners; the minutes reference a WBEV/Daily Dodge meeting recap and note potential coordinator attendance at a Touch‑A‑Truck event in July to promote programs and partnerships.
On facility matters, discussion of the Community Center lease with contributing non‑profits and civil organizations was tabled to the next meeting; the minutes note a potential contract signing for each use but include no final action at this session.
The committee set its next meeting for Wednesday, July 15, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. and adjourned at 7:11 p.m.
What happens next: staff will follow up on the sponsorship and grant outreach and will place the Community Center lease back on the agenda at the next meeting.
