Stephanie
Cha presented an update on the Carbon County Youth Miniature Golf project. The
group has met with the Carbon County Recreation and Transportation Special
Service District (SSD) which approved funding in the amount of $150,000 contingent
upon receipt of additional CIB funding. Mayor Piccolo has spoken to the CIB but
stated that funding could not occur this year. Councilmember Davis is concerned
about the maintenance and operation of the project after the course is open. Mayor
Piccolo stated that much of the maintenance and operation would be offset
through the wave pool. Anne Mackowitz stated that she would like to have the
project move along and needs the City’s support. Mayor Piccolo stated that a study
on the project which has been authorized to be done this summer will include the
cost of maintenance and operation. Mrs. Mackowitz asked the Council if the SSD would
earmark the money for the project even if the project is not completed in the
budgeted year. Mayor Piccolo stated that unless the project is abandoned, the
money should be available. He suggested checking with the SSD for further
information. Councilmember McEvoy suggested that the youth group begin fundraisers
to raise the some of the funding needed for the project. Mayor Piccolo offered
to assist the group in their fundraising efforts to get the project off the
ground.
