Anamosa Parks & Recreation board reviews consent items, program updates and facility needs

Chairperson Heath Engelbart called the Anamosa Parks & Recreation Board to order at 5:30 p.m. on Sept. 2 in the Lawrence Room. Roll call showed Engelbart and board members Tom Durgin, Bradley Hallman, Eric Callahan, Kari Dearborn and Dawn Koob present; Deb Grief was noted absent. Staff and guests included Marshall Webber, Brian Hurt and Chris Looney. The meeting adjourned at 6:49 p.m.; the next meeting is scheduled for Oct. 7.

The board reviewed routine consent items and administrative reports, including draft minutes, the revenue/expense report and an investment report noting a certificate of deposit that matures Nov. 14, 2026. Meeting materials record template motion lines (e.g., "Motion by Dawn, second by Tom" for the minutes), but the transcript does not record explicit final vote tallies. The agenda then moved into substantive items: CD maturity and proposed funding for LCC doors, a long‑term plan to preserve the Lawrence Community Center Fund at or above $500,000, a review of pool attendance and programming ideas, and a motion to allow Friends of the Library to update Fountain Park signage.
