Mayor outlines Zillah Sports Hub planning, splash park timing and upcoming community events
Summary
Mayor Scott Carmack updated council on coordination with the school district for a proposed Zillah Sports Hub, provided an update on the splash park completion timeline, thanked local organizers of the 3-on-3 tournament and recounted a staff-led 'poo-patrol' fix; City Administrator announced National Night Out on Aug. 8 and a pickleball lessons partnership.
Mayor Scott Carmack reported on continuing collaboration with the School District to map next steps for a proposed Zillah Sports Hub that would add fields and amenities to host regional tournaments and support local businesses. He described potential long-term benefits for hotels and restaurants should regional events be attracted to the facility.
The Mayor also provided an update about the timing and next steps to complete the splash park and thanked Armando and Brandie Valadez for partnering with the city on the second annual 3-on-3 basketball tournament. Carmack recounted logistical lessons learned and praised a makeshift "poo-patrol" — involving City Administrator Michael Grayum and Officer Derrek Brown — that relocated partially full porta-potties to address a shortfall at the event.
City Administrator Michael Grayum gave administrative updates including ongoing finance work and reconvening the Finance Committee to review budget-to-actuals and rising court costs, and announced community events: a Nazarene Church pickleball lesson partnership and National Night Out on Aug. 8. Council conveyed support for recognizing the B-Strong 3-on-3 event at a future meeting.
