# 10/19/2026 Parks Board

The Seymour Parks Board met on October 19, 2026. The board approved the September minutes, September claims, and fund balances; the transcript does not provide a clear total for the claims or balances. Members reviewed a draft five-year parks master plan, which staff developed in-house because there was not sufficient budget for a consultant. Board members were asked to submit edits, with a vote planned for November before the plan goes to City Council. Staff also reported third-quarter park activity and discussed a required Title VI transportation document, for which an email vote was requested. The board discussed whether the park bus remains useful and whether a smaller wheelchair-accessible van might be an alternative, but made no decision; staff noted INDOT rules would require the bus’s value to be under $10,000 to dispose of it.

Staff reported an estimated $1,500 repair for damage to the Blue Star Memorial flower-pot area at Crossroads Park, with the estimate from Chris’s Lawn Care. The matter is under litigation, and staff is waiting on the judicial process before proceeding; no repair contract or spending approval was recorded. The board also discussed upcoming park events and the need for sponsors for the Park Elves in Action program. No other contract awards, bid approvals, or purchasing decisions were identified.
