7. STAFF REPORTS: Parks and Recreation Deputy Director Ryan Reed

The City of Destin Parks & Recreation Committee is reviewing options for Nancy Weidenhamer Dog Park. The park has been re-seeded, and the possibility of installing turf is being considered. However, due to costs, re-seeding is currently the chosen method. This item is under review. The project involves ongoing park maintenance and potential future upgrades. Work could include site preparation, landscaping, and potentially turf installation. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers in landscaping, site preparation, and potentially turf installation may find opportunities. Early engagement before final decisions on turf installation could be advantageous.

A. Committee member Stephens- Recreation Calendar Work Plan

The City of Destin Parks & Recreation Committee is reviewing a proposal to install an ice machine at Joe's Bayou Boat Launch. This idea has been considered for years, with recent discussions involving the City Manager and the committee. The project is currently under review, with staff gathering information on ownership, maintenance, procurement, and revenue sharing. Potential phases include gathering input, exploring partnerships with the Parks Foundation, and possibly a procurement process like a Request for Proposals if a private vendor is involved. This early stage presents an opportunity for contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas such as equipment installation, maintenance, and potentially vending services to engage with the city. Reaching out now, before final decisions on procurement and partnerships are made, allows businesses to understand the project's scope and potential involvement.
