Commission approves several parks capital items: locker‑room rehab, Peck Field track paving and MLK pool resurfacing
Summary
Following presentations from Parks & Recreation staff, the commission approved budget transfers and contract awards for Atlantic Rec Center locker‑room renovations, Peck Field track paving (≈$41,000 + $5,000 surveying, municipal grant) and awarded pool resurfacing bids for MLK Recreational Center.
The commission approved multiple parks capital items during the meeting, advancing a string of projects staff said will support youth sports and facility upkeep.
Jeremiah Glisson introduced a budget amendment to move funds within the capital fund to renovate the men’s locker room at the Atlantic Rec Center; staff said the women's side rehab is near completion and the men's project will follow. The commission approved the transfer unanimously.
On Peck Field, staff recommended awarding the paving contract to Hubbard Construction. City staff said the total proposal was about $41,000 plus $5,000 for surveying work and that the county municipal grant allocation of $50,000 would cover the cost. The commission approved the award. The city also awarded resurfacing of the Martin Luther King Jr. Recreational Center pool under ITB 24‑143 with staff recommending acceptance of Vermona (bidder); the motion passed 5–0. Commissioners said the projects are long‑awaited improvements to community amenities.
