# Fon du Lac Park Board Meeting - 9/21/26

The Fon du Lac Park Board meeting on September 21, 2026, included approval by roll-call vote of bills between meetings and bills to be paid, the financial report and working budget, and Helping Hands cash reports; no dollar amounts were stated. The board discussed scheduling a committee-of-the-whole meeting to review the proposed 2027 budget, but did not set a date. Staff reported that work funded through an OAG grant is nearly complete and that they will submit photographs before closing out the grant. The board also heard that Tazewell County is funding a countywide electronic crash-ticketing program; participating departments would need to purchase thermal printers and paper, with no cost provided.

Campground users praised operations and asked the board to continue seasonal stays. The board deferred a decision on seasonal arrangements for 2027 while it considers legal risks, operating expenses, and campground sustainability. Officials noted future capital needs, including roads, parking, lift stations, electrical systems, and bathhouse work; repaving the parking lot alone was estimated at hundreds of thousands of dollars, with no project or funding approval reported. Staff also said they would proceed with paperwork for video gaming under a previously changed policy; no vendor selection or spending approval was reported. The gaming company is expected to provide surveillance cameras and an ATM/ticket unit.
