Parks Committee 3-11-2026

The City of Green Bay Parks Committee met on March 11, 2026, to discuss several procurement and budget-related items. Key actions included approval to amend city ordinance 28.37 concerning violations for unauthorized tree removal, establishing a fee range from $500 to the appraised value based on the Council of Tree and Landscape Appraisers guide. The committee approved hiring Carico Aquatic Resources to replace two aging pool heaters using existing bond funding, ensuring pool operations are not disrupted. Additionally, Somerville Incorporated was approved for architectural services at a cost of $94,600 to design a heated equipment storage garage, with construction funding planned for 2028. The committee also agreed to partner with the Western Great Lakes Bird and Bat Observatory to accept a donation of 800 trees funded by a grant, with the city providing labor as a match. These decisions reflect ongoing capital improvements and environmental initiatives within the city's parks system.
