Top issues during term (15)(Parks Rec)
Loss of the only public golf course west of the bridge
Cuts to leagues yield modest net savings since registration fee revenue is lost too.
James Rogers Park future
A playground alone would cost a minimum of $100,000 out of reserves the city says it doesn't have.
Rules of Conduct in City Parks (Ordinance 1192R)
Minor — signage for posted park hours will be the main cost.
New pavilion at Kinsaul Park
Donated pavilion saves the city the cost of that amenity.
2027 July 4th event sponsorships
Concerts run about $6,000 each, and the city wants events to at least break even through sponsorships rather than city dollars.
Winter Wonderland planning
Vendor fees were raised to $75 for a 10x10 and $150 for a 10x20, and the event is expected to be self-sustaining or generate surplus funds.
Animal shelter funding concerns
The shelter is budgeted at $373,314 for FY 2027, up 4% from the amended FY 2026 figure.
Tree giveaways and community events funding
Zero tax dollars — events are funded entirely by donations and sponsorships.
New fees for boat launch and splash pad?
The splash pad costs roughly $30,000 a year to run; per-guest fees of $2–$3 were floated to make it self-sustaining.
Proposed bourbon tasting fundraiser at Kinsaul Park
Could raise funds for city events through ticket sales.
Concerts in the park series
No cost to the city — sponsorships cover the bands.
Lynn Haven Community Fund launch
The nonprofit aims to fill funding gaps left by this year's budget cuts.
Rails-to-Trails crossing signals
One crossing instead of three saves about $55,000 in the FY2027 budget.
Fourth of July event debrief
A proposed $25 parade entry fee could offset costs, though parade float fee details are undecided.
Children's Memorial Garden vandalism
Repairs rely on volunteers and donated equipment rather than city funds.
