Waitsburg Parks and Recreation Board Update

As submitted by Board Chair Danielle Carpenter

 

August 8, 2019



Review of Board Activities

The board passed a levy resolution in time for the Aug. 6 levy deadline.

The board is in the very early stages of seeking out a potential Parks and Rec. employee for 2020 at approximately five hours per week.

The board has received a go-ahead from the City to install dog poo bag dispensers in the park and will begin working on that soon.

The July 13 Park and Rec. Day went fairly well. Future events will probably only need to be from 3-6 p.m. and signage and advertisement would be good.

Carpenter is looking into ‘vendor reimbursement’ from the Parks and Rec account and now has the appropriate paperwork.

Carpenter attended City Council on July 17 to ask for a waiver of the $50 fee for the Parks and Rec day as well as future, small events. It was decided that Parks and Rec. will be required to pay said fee for any events in the park in the future, regardless of size or purpose.


The District unanimously approved a request to take over responsibility for the Laurette McCaw Pie Baking Contest at the Pioneer Fall Festival.

The District is planning a Halloween Bash the Saturday before Halloween at the fairgrounds. The District is hopeful to have a straw bale maze, pumpkin carving, games, a beer garden and more. If there are community events planned for the same day, Carpenter would appreciate a head’s up so that there are no conflicts.
