Kaliseum use rising; board authorizes up to $75,000 TC Energy grant application
Summary
Parks & Recreation Director Chad Williams reported increased Kaliseum activity and asked the board to apply for a TC Energy grant; commissioners authorized an application up to $75,000 and approved Log Lake fees and staffing contracts.
Parks & Recreation Director Chad Williams told commissioners the Kaliseum has seen increased use across multiple programs, including more shower use, growth in pickleball, formation of a volleyball league, batting cage and roller-skating requests, and ongoing questions about minor supervision.
The board authorized Chair Kohn Fisher to apply for a TC Energy grant up to $75,000 to support facility needs and programming. Commissioners also approved Log Lake 2025 fees and rules and authorized contracts for the Log Lake supervisor and seasonal staff as reviewed and approved by the county attorney. Williams said he was pursuing additional grant sources and had begun interviews for a Log Lake caretaker and part-time help.
Why it matters: Increased facility use raises staffing, supervision and maintenance needs; grant funds could offset capital or program costs. Log Lake fee and staffing decisions set user costs and seasonal service levels.
What’s next: Parks staff will pursue the TC Energy grant application and continue hiring for seasonal positions.
