Parks and Rec: council reviews auto-renewed CIA contract, Food Truck Fridays return, grant timing in question
Summary
Parks and Recreation reported event planning for Easter and Food Truck Fridays and told council a CIA contract automatically renewed through 2027; council agreed breach may justify ending the contract and solicitor review is planned. A $250,000 grant with 15% match exists but audit issues may prevent application before the May 31 deadline.
Amy Lau and Becky Gibney updated the council on Parks & Recreation programming including an Easter Bunny breakfast and plans to restart Food Truck Fridays at Nitchkey Park. "Food Truck Fridays will be held at Nitchkey Park again this year," Lau said, and the group is seeking a dessert vendor.
The Parks discussion also focused on an automatic renewal in a CIA contract through Aug. 17, 2027. Council members agreed a breach of contract could be grounds to discontinue service and asked the solicitor about options to part ways. Evan Hiester noted a $250,000 grant with a 15% match that could fund rec center repairs or a Summit Lane connection, but Brady Greer said "currently we are being denied grant monies due to the audit" and that denial may preclude applying before the May 31, 2025 deadline.
