Arena manager reports busy events calendar, RV pads and Daniel Foundation funds

St. Clair County Commission · May 21, 2026

Summary

Asset manager Ashley Hay said pad work is complete for new RV parking at the county arena, the facility hosted a successful summer movie night (~80 kids) and staff will trench for water/power next week; Daniel Foundation funds were mentioned as a potential source to finish pedestal/power work.

Ashley Hay, asset manager for the arena and event center, updated the commission on recent activity and planned improvements.

Hay said crews finished pad work to create RV parking spaces and that event activity has been heavy — staff called on help from the sheriff's office and building department for setup and takedown. The first summer movie night attracted about 80 children with no major issues. Hay said she plans to trench conduits for power and water next week so the RV pad can support hookups and that pedestals/power pedestals could be paid from remaining Daniel Foundation funds; she will report the remaining balance and propose how to close the project.

Hay also said the event center will host a youth pickleball camp and several rentals this weekend; she described a modest rental fee ($10/hr) for a new boat-launch pavilion offering guaranteed use.

Next steps: Hay will provide a cost estimate to finish RV-power pedestals, close out the Daniel Foundation grant and coordinate trenching support with the road department.
