Agenda Date:

Subject:
Agreement for New Caretakers at H.J. Carroll Park
Statement of Issue:
The previous caretakers at H.J. Carroll Park served successfully for over three years.
New caretakers have been chosen in a competitive process. A good match has been
made for this important community position. An agreement has been prepared.
Analysis/Strategic Goals/Pro's & Con's:
H.J. Carroll Park is one of the most heavily used and significant recreational resources
in the County. Studies show that parks have economic, health, safety, and
environmental benefits. This project supports County strategic goals numbers 2, 3, 5,
8, and 9. .
Fiscal Impact/Cost Benefit Analysis:
The caretaker's site is ready and has been improved over the last several years. The
caretakers pay for their own power, propane and phone, while Jefferson County pays
for septic service and water. The caretakers provide an invaluable community service
by helping to maintain and monitor the park. The benefits of this small investment far
outweigh the costs.
Recommendation:
Approve the agreement
