Commission debates staffing plan and tournament strategy for Championship Park

Commissioners pressed staff on whether four core employees are sufficient to operate Championship Park; staff said four full-time positions are currently budgeted for the new fund but that weekend tournament staffing would be supplemented by other parks staff, cross-trained public-works employees and volunteers.

Tony acknowledged the staffing level is minimal: “We’re gonna be scraping by with 4 people doing it. We should at least have 6 to 8,” he said, adding hiring decisions may come after the first months of operation if revenue projections and tournament demand justify a budget amendment. Staff also discussed contracting with tournament directors, hotel-room requirements in agreements and a planned marketing push to keep visitors in Buda.
