Board signs off on concession upgrade and discusses activating Holman Stadium and parks events
Summary
The board approved a $10,610 dishwasher installation at Holman Stadium (cost to be offset on the Silver Knights' 2026 lease) and commissioners discussed plans to 'activate' Holman Stadium with events while protecting turf; staff reported pools opening and progress on a disc golf course.
The Board of Public Works approved a request from the Silver Knights to install a dishwasher in the ground-level concession stand at Holman Stadium. The team will pay the $10,610 cost and have that amount offset from their 2026 lease; the city will own the installed equipment. Parks superintendent Brian Kona said the dishwasher "will help increase the amount of volume they can do," and confirmed the fixture would remain with the facility if the Silver Knights cease to be the lessee.
Commissioners discussed ongoing efforts to increase activity at Holman Stadium, including exploring booking novelty events such as a "banana ball" team and other community programming. Concern about protecting stadium turf was raised; staff said superintendent Conant will participate in the activation committee and bring stewardship practices to avoid field damage. The director's report also noted city pools opened with a soft opening period and that in-house street crews had poured concrete pads for a new disc golf course, with baskets and signage to follow.
