Parks director reports events; board authorizes multiple event agreements and schedules DPW meeting on Fair Board issues
Summary
Parks & Recreation Director Williams reported event scheduling and lower seasonal use; the board authorized several event agreements and set a special DPW meeting to address outstanding Fair Board agreement issues on May 16, 2025.
Parks & Recreation Director Williams reported seasonal activity for county facilities, noting a slowdown in some uses and upcoming programs such as sand volleyball. Commissioner Scott Matley raised concerns about Log Lake opening and the caretaker position; Williams said there had been little interest in that role.
The board authorized agreements for the All-American Circus, Small-Town Outlaws and Courtesy Driving School by consensus and then set a Special DPW meeting for May 16, 2025 to address outstanding questions about the Fair Board agreement and facility access. Commissioner Jeff Sieting and Administrator Schaeffer noted prior user-group friction and asked that user groups follow the chain of command through Parks & Recreation staff.
The motion to set a special meeting indicates the board intends a focused session to resolve Fair Board contract and facility-use questions outside the regular BOC agenda.
