Top issues during term (20)(Parks Rec)
Krueger-Haskell Golf Course 100th Anniversary Celebration
No city funds have been allocated, so planning is focused on low-cost or no-cost options.
Deferred maintenance and park conditions
Deferred maintenance needs are weighed against limited funding, meaning some repairs will wait while others are prioritized.
Disc golf course at Big Hill Park
Costs aren't detailed in the available materials; a course would require equipment like tee pads and disc catchers plus ongoing upkeep.
Friends of the Parks volunteer group
A volunteer friends group could stretch park maintenance dollars without new city spending.
Establishing a Friends of the Park group
A Friends group could bring in donations and grants to support parks beyond the city budget.
Removal of aging Krueger-Haskell scoreboard
No cost figure was given for removing the structure, and no procurement is involved.
Park improvements completed
Final payments totaled about $6,100 on contracts worth roughly $1.5 million combined, funded through the CIP budget.
Regina Dunkin Park shelter roof replacement
The roof replacement contract has a cost to the city not stated in the agenda.
Edwards Ice Arena refrigeration replacement and Beloit College use agreement
Fundraising by the hockey association is expected to offset the replacement cost; the exact figure wasn't stated.
Parks and recreation programming survey results
2027-2032 Golf Course Capital Improvement Projects
The plan guides how limited park funding is spent over six years, though specific dollar figures were not provided in the available materials.
Free bus fare for Housing Resources Fair
Modest cost to the city to cover fares for the one-day event.
United Veterans Memorial Day Parade
Juneteenth community celebrations
Terrace trees and geese in parks
Reciprocal pass program review
Changes to reciprocal fees could affect season pass value and course revenue.
Park litter and trash receptacles
Unknown — more cans and more frequent servicing would add maintenance costs.
Golf club recruitment and promotion
Turtle Creek Park Highway 51 entrance
Krueger Pool renovation or replacement
New construction options run roughly $5 million to $10 million or more, and about a third of city residents surveyed would support a tax increase to pay for a new pool.
