Summary

Parks and Recreation presented personnel status and capital requests including a golf cart replacement, leaf vacuum, park shop updates and senior center improvements; staff said recreation programs largely offset recurring costs through registration fees.

Parks and Recreation staff reviewed 2026 requests and said most recreation programs are near break-even due to registration fees, while capital asks include a golf-cart replacement, a Billy Goat leaf vacuum and senior-center renovations (floors, cabinets, lighting) to increase rental revenue.

The department noted the campground road servicing project came in under budget and that equipment is being coordinated with the street department through an equipment‑replacement plan to preserve trade‑in value. Staff emphasized modest capital requests aimed at preserving services and improving facility rental potential.
