Summary
Parks Director Kass Miller presented Harvey County Parks’ 2026 budget request including a required $5,500 dam inspection, $50,000 to replace playground equipment at East Park, HVAC replacements, a Camp Hawk disc‑golf revamp and a $25,000 water expansion feasibility study.
Kass Miller, director of Harvey County Parks, presented the department’s proposed 2026 budget and a series of capital improvement requests aimed at maintaining and upgrading county park facilities.
Miller highlighted a mandatory dam inspection for East Park estimated at $5,500, $50,000 requested to replace aging playground equipment at East Park’s Willow Bend area, $24,000 in HVAC replacement funding for Volunteer Hall and the Camp Hawk Shelter, and a multi‑year plan to update Camp Hawk’s disc golf course. He also requested $25,000 for a feasibility study to expand water hookups at East and West parks.
The Parks narrative noted prior investments and 2024 accomplishments including a new shower house and replacement truck, and framed many items as preventive maintenance to avoid higher costs later. Commissioners and staff agreed to review the CIP proposals during upcoming budget work sessions.
