Sports Council Update
Davis ? I believe a few back I asked for a report and a complete update on
Parks and Recreation and you were working on that report. This is something I
see needs to be addressed soon. Some of this stuff we may be able to do some
pressure washing and that may or may not make a difference.
Huff ? There are things we need to do to make these facilities better. We need
to move now so we can keep what we have.
Thomas ? I want to encourage the sports council and parks and recreation, we
need to toot our horn more than we are. We have people in Columbus that does
not know what is going on. We don?t do enough with the local media to let
people know the events taken place.
The other thing, I would ask the CM and Finance, this is not something we can
put off until 3 or 4 years from now. We have some opportunities with the
infrastructure from the OLOST to do some of the kinds of things that we are
talking about here. I mention something about the TSPLOST money, but there may
be some projects that we are doing now using OLOST money that we can shift to
the TSPLOST money to free up some of that. I know that we have taken a long
term look at some of that money. Maybe its time for us to take another look.
I would request that maybe not a recommendation but at least a look at here are
some things we could do especially since we are moving into the budget
process.
CM - We are scheduled to bring 2nd Tuesday in January the transportation
update. We will talk about resurfacing and I have already asked staff to bring
the update that would include resurfacing and the TSPLOST and that maybe a good
time to have the conversation about the various categories.
And also, DCM Goodwin over the last year have been looking at our parks and
doing a needs assessment. That document has been finalized and we will be
bringing that back early in the new year. We will be addressing things like
the softball fields, golden park, lake bottom, cooper creek tennis center. So
all of that is included in that assessment. The small things that we can go
and do some minor things, we can do those things. I also fail to mention that
the Riverwalk is included in the needs assessment.
Mayor Pro Tem ? I noticed you didn?t mention Carver Park but I hope you have
looked at Carver Park.
