Board of Park Commissioners Meeting - May 6, 2026

The City of Stevens Point Board of Park Commissioners held a meeting on May 6, 2026, where several procurement-related items were discussed and approved. The board approved a three-year lease agreement with Northward Adventures for recreation rentals and concession sales at Iverson and Buh Parks, including provisions for seasonal fees and a 5% profit share. They also approved a three-year winter sports rental and concession sales agreement with the same vendor for the Parker building and Iverson All-Purpose Lodge, incorporating seasonal staffing and operational hours without increasing the city budget. Additionally, the board reviewed a conceptual plan for a pedestrian path along the eastern bank of Me Park, discussing potential clearing, native plantings, and lighting options, with a motion passed to seek permission for lighting installation with design details to be determined later. Updates on capital projects, including a bridge replacement ahead of schedule, and operational reports on forestry activities and staffing were also provided. No new RFPs or vendor selections beyond the Northward Adventures agreements were noted during the meeting.
