Parks lead outlines turf‑painting demo, LED light update and missing fob for new bathrooms
Summary
Hartley Brody briefed the board on a GPS‑guided turf‑painting demo (lease option), a proposed $3,400 change order to convert remaining concession lights to LEDs, and the discovery that the new bathroom/pavilion lacks the intended fob access system; he will pursue change orders and pricing.
Hartley Brody reported to the board on several parks items: a GPS‑guided turf‑painting demonstration that could reduce staff labor, a small change order (about $3,400) to convert remaining concession lights to LED fixtures while crews are onsite, and a construction oversight finding that the new bathroom and pavilion were not equipped with the planned fob access system. Brody said he will seek quotes for a change order to install keyed/fob access consistent with other village facilities.
Brody also asked whether the board wanted to waive fees for a non‑profit fundraiser using the diamonds; President Rick used his spending authority to waive the roughly $40 game‑prep fee. Brody characterized the turf‑painting equipment as a potentially time‑saving lease option and said he would return with cost comparisons.
Why it matters: The items affect maintenance costs, field readiness for recreation programs and the security/operation of new park facilities. Staff will return with quotes and recommended contract language for the change orders.
