Parks & Recreation Advisory Board 4-2-25

The City of San Angelo Parks & Recreation Advisory Board met on April 2, 2025, to discuss updates on various park projects and proposed fee changes for the upcoming budget cycle. Key procurement-related topics included the San Rita Park renovation project, with a total estimated cost of $350,000, of which $100,000 in sales tax funds are available and $250,000 needs to be raised. The project will be phased, with some work done in-house and some contracted, such as irrigation and rock wall repairs. Additionally, updates were provided on ongoing irrigation projects and the Youth Sports Complex construction. The board reviewed and approved recommended fee increases for recreation programs and facility rentals, including raising youth sports team registration fees from $500 to $600, increasing rental fees for the Texas Bank Sports Complex, and adjusting pool admission fees. These fee changes aim to improve cost recovery and support program sustainability. The board voted to accept the fee increases and plans to forward these recommendations to the city council for consideration.
