Kearney parks report participation data; scholarship fund amount unclear
Summary
Parks staff reported program participation numbers (141 flag football, 186 soccer, 564 pickleball, among others) and said the 'No Kid Left Behind' scholarship account should suffice for spring needs but acknowledged the dollar amount cited in the meeting may be a transcription error and was not verified.
Parks staff presented participation figures and staffing updates at the Jan. 23 meeting, reporting 141 flag football participants, 47 in volleyball, 186 in soccer and 564 in pickleball during the last quarter. Staff noted some reporting anomalies tied to changing boundaries used to count attendees.
When asked about the 'No Kid Left Behind' scholarship account, a staff member said "I believe, somewhere in the neighborhood of $5 in there. That might not be an accurate number," and added the fund should cover spring program needs. The board did not provide a corrected dollar figure during the meeting; the transcript statement appears inconsistent and the exact scholarship balance was not specified by staff in the record.
