NEW BUSINESS
1. 2025 Datafy Contract Renewal
Parks Director Coutts presented an overview of the program and its current utilization
to the committee. After deliberation on the program's value, PRCS Director Coutts
recommended continuing it for another year to gather sufficient data for a conclusive
decision. The program incurred a cost of $14,051.29 from LTAC tourism funds last year.
Three funding options were suggested for 2025: utilizing tourism 2%, the operations 2%,
or a 50/50 split of the two. Parks Director Coutts may also consider a proportionate
share of expense from utilization of Parks in the future as well.
Action Taken: Committee Member Lawson moved to recommend a budget amendment to use
the operations 2% for funding in 2025, second by Committee Member Molitor. The motion
passed unanimously.
2. Set Meeting Date for Applicant Presentations
