Summary

Council heard that the youth program held its first session with donated refreshments and planned a July water event with the fire department; parks staff also updated progress on a county parks RFP to find a concessionaire manager.

The youth‑program presenter (S6) reported the first youth night (Father's Day projects) with donated supplies from Stage Top and volunteer help from Crosslands and said attendance was below expectations due to personal absences; she asked the council to continue promoting the program and circulate a flyer for a mid‑July water event with the fire department.

Parks presenter (S5) briefly updated a separate county parks matter: the county is working on an RFP to transfer parks management to a concessionaire, with a two‑hour meeting held the previous day to refine details. The county hopes to issue the RFP before the current commissioners leave in five months.

Council members encouraged outreach to increase youth participation and noted the upcoming community events and staffing needs for the park activities.
