Michigan City Parks & Recreation Board May 20, 2026

The Michigan City Parks & Recreation Board held a meeting on May 20, 2026, where they discussed several procurement and budget-related items. Key procurement discussions included the approval of the 2026 first quarter financial report and the 2026 Soccer in the Sand license agreement, where the board decided to maintain a consistent 10% fee rather than a reduced 5%. The board also approved a reduction in the fee for the 2026 Junior Golf Program from $100 to $40 per child to encourage greater participation. Additionally, a pre-bid meeting was held for the Fedders Alley Playground project, with bids due June 3rd and construction planned post-Labor Day. The board approved claims totaling approximately $286,739 and accepted a $100 donation for youth baseball sponsorship. Updates on parking system improvements and technology upgrades were also provided, including new citation enforcement and online rental processes to improve efficiency.
