b. Park Issues/Concerns:
i. Waiting for warmer temps to do any repairs to park equipment
ii. Disc Golf course: City received an estimate of $25,000-30,000 to install. Nature trail too narrow so a few holes would need to be New Millenia or at Sutton’s Park. JT researched a got a quote from company out of California. Parks for a 9 hole course would be $6,000 and then we would have to install. Biggest question was if there was enough interest in town to invest money in this project. JT motioned for Rec Board to put forward $15,000 towards a Disc Golf course, motion didn’t pass.
