- Meeting Overview:
In the latest Union County Board of Commissioners meeting, steps were made concerning the County’s parks and recreation facilities, highlighting a focus on enhancing local community services. The Department of Parks and Recreation presented five items, with particular attention on the management of seasonal recreational facilities and the development of a second ice rink, aimed at providing year-round services to the community.
A notable change in the management of the county pool and spray park was discussed, with the decision to turn over operations to an external management group for the active seasonal months. This shift is expected to result in cost savings while ensuring full-time management during peak usage. Additionally, the second sheet of ice, which is slated to be enclosed, will allow for extended service throughout the year, addressing a much-needed expansion for the community’s recreational infrastructure.
In the realm of public safety and environmental responsibility, the Office of County Council brought to light a resolution concerning a small parcel of land. The land, inadvertently acquired by the county, has been affected by pollution from a neighboring commercial enterprise. A resolution was introduced to auction the land to the adjoining business, which will assume responsibility for its cleanup.
