EDC holds project funds for parks: restrooms, disc golf and skate-park work retained in budget
Summary
The board kept project allocations in the adopted budget: $50,000 toward park restrooms (contingent on a state LCRA grant that could raise total project cost to about $150,000), $20,000 for disc golf and $20,000 for skate-park safety improvements.
During the budget workshop staff (Allison, S5) reviewed project-specific line items the board retained in the draft budget. The EDC held $20,000 for a proposed disc-golf course and $20,000 for skate-park safety upgrades. For park restrooms, the EDC placed $50,000 in the budget to match or supplement a potential state grant; if the LCRA grant is awarded the restroom project budget could total about $150,000.
Board members discussed timing and whether the restroom work should proceed only if the grant is secured; staff explained the $50,000 would be available if the grant is not awarded but would be combined with grant funds if awarded. The board asked staff to bring specific project applications to the next agenda for discussion and possible awards from the promotional or miscellaneous-project line items.
The EDC maintained $100,000 for miscellaneous projects (including seasonal events) and $80,000 for land improvements on existing EDC-owned property.
