Land & Water Conservation Fund Grant Discussion
Director R.Weinschenk presented an amendment drafted for the Land & Water
Conservation Grant following a meeting with Bob Bronson from the Indiana Department
of Natural Resources. Amendments include removing the northern parking lot and
developing one between the proposed dog park and the ASA Softball Field located on the
southern side of Big Walnut Sports Park. The project would address many ADA issues
around the softball field as well. With land acquisition, current land improvements, and
proposed construction the project totals $458,540.00. A donation of 10-acres of land
owned and operated by Big Walnut Sports Park, Inc., which holds a preliminary value of
approximately $243,540.00 and $15,000.00 in local funding will be used toward a match
for $200,000.00 in Land and Water Conservation Grant Program funding. On a motion
from R.Evans, second by T.Trigg, the motion to file an amendment to our original plan
was granted. All Ayes.
Greencastle Civic League Spray Park
Discussion of the project from last month included the following comments:
1. Fantastic Project! — Every member of the board felt it would be a "fantastic"
project for Greencastle.
2. Construction - It was felt the ideal spot for this kind of improvements would be
in the location of wading pool located at the Greencastle Aquatics Center.
3. Accessiblity to the Public— Ideas were shared in regards to whether it would be
a free facility or if made part of the aquatics center. Comments included it should
be free at all times to fees charged to pay for operations. Following discussion,
the board felt it should be made a part of the facility, replacing the wading pool;
but in a way that it could be opened in May prior to the aquatics center season,
and left open following the close of the season.
4. Board—Two members of the board, J.Hennette and R.Evans volunteered to sit on
a steering committee led by Greencastle Civic League members for the project.
5. Greencastle Civic League Project Meetings — Director R.Weinschenk stated
that he will seek further information with Suzanne Masten, an let the board know
at the next meeting.
