Local volunteers update council: skate park fundraising progresses; longtime 'Christmas house' to be rebuilt
Summary
Community volunteers updated council on a skate park fundraising campaign (raised $5,000 of $20,000 goal) and a long‑running volunteer 'Christmas house' decoration project that needs replacement and storage arrangements at Snyder Park.
Multiple residents updated the council about volunteer efforts and neighborhood events. Eric Payne reported the Poulsbo Skate Park Advisory Coalition raised $5,000 toward a $20,000 goal; permits have been approved and first‑phase construction is planned to begin this month. Payne credited recent fundraising events including a skate jam and the community concert series.
Longtime volunteer Bill Austin described plans to replace an aging 'Christmas house' prop used in local holiday displays and asked the city for permission to store and stage the new, smaller version at Snyder Park and for logistical support (keys, storage and transport). Council said staff would follow up on parking and storage logistics.
