Conservation director outlines Hannen Park watershed RFP, clarifies budget reduction
Summary
Conservation Director Shelby Williams said staff are preparing an RFP for the Hannen Park Watershed Improvement Project and will make septic repairs, and she clarified that a recent budget reduction was absorbed within operating funds and did not affect earmarked projects or the Rodgers Park shelter.
Conservation Director Shelby Williams told the Benton County Board of Supervisors on Aug. 18 that staff are preparing a request for proposals for the Hannen Park Watershed Improvement Project and that septic repairs at Hannen Park will be completed soon. She provided the update during the department report and offered to answer questions from the board.
Williams also addressed circulating rumors about staff raises and the department budget. "Conservation did receive a budget reduction, but that reduction was absorbed within its existing operating budget. It did not come from the Rodgers Park shelter project, nor did it affect special projects or earmarked funds," she said. The board did not vote on any conservation projects during the meeting; items described are at the staff-preparation stage.
Williams invited supervisors to contact her with questions about timelines and funding sources for the Hannen Park project.
