County approves $6,500 contract for Prather Lake park plan
Summary
Commissioners approved a $6,500 consulting agreement with Beacon Street Consulting to create a DNR‑eligible park plan for Prather Lake (including a western parcel); the plan will enable future grant applications for amenities and campground work.
Jefferson County commissioners approved a $6,500 consulting contract with Beacon Street Consulting to develop a comprehensive park plan for county‑owned parks, with stated emphasis on Prather Lake and an adjacent western parcel.
Brian introduced the proposal and explained the plan would meet Indiana Department of Natural Resources requirements so the county can pursue DNR grants (for campground development, signage, or other supported amenities). Brian said consultant Don will handle public outreach, draft the plan, solicit DNR feedback and submit a final version for approval. Commissioners moved and approved the contract by voice vote; staff will route the agreement for signature.
The contract includes a one‑year term and a 60‑day termination clause; the scope covers public meetings, drafting, printing and incidental travel costs necessary for DNR submission. The county attorney reviewed the agreement during the meeting and indicated it was acceptable for signature routing.
