Summary

The Park Board provisionally approved a half‑day reservation for Centerstone on Aug. 4 but asked staff to verify which shelter house and diamond are requested before executing paperwork or signatures.

The board reviewed a written request from Centerstone seeking a half‑day shelter reservation on Aug. 4 to run outdoor games and social‑skills activities for clients. Members noted the request listed a shelter house number that did not match the board's shelter map and said they needed to confirm the exact location before signing any final paperwork.

“I’m not going to sign anything until we find out dates,” a board member said while the board agreed to mark the request approved pending verification of the shelter number and any diamond conflicts. Staff were directed to contact the applicant to confirm which shelter house they want and whether they intended a specific ball diamond.

Why it matters: The conditional approval preserves a reservation while protecting the board from committing a shelter or diamond that might already be needed by leagues or other events. Staff follow‑up is required to produce a final rental contract and ensure staffing/cleanup responsibilities are clear.
