The board approved a Dickman Town Center rental request from Jessica Byer for a community resource fair planned Oct. 4, expected to draw about 200 people, and approved a reconciliation picnic at Jackson Park presented by the Clergy Association and Reverend Horace Brooks. The picnic organizer asked for the mobile stage and a reduced stage fee due to nonprofit status; the board requested additional details from the organizer when available.

John Clements received consensus approval for a class reunion at Warren Miller Park on Aug. 3 (applicant expected about 200 attendees) subject to the usual rental fee and provision of liability insurance. Second Missionary Baptist Church was cleared to hold a run/walk/bike event at Dickman Park on Aug. 10 from 6:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., with the board noting normal fee and insurance requirements.

Bridal Wilhite sought Citizens Plaza for Aug. 17 for live music, vendors and fundraising (about 75 expected); board members asked staff to confirm the fundraising details before finalizing conditions, noting that \"we cannot sell tickets in the public park,\" a restriction the board reiterated. Fitness instructor Tanya Nunn received approval to use Dickman Park on July 19 for a brunch-and-fitness event; Nunn said she would move the time to 10 a.m.–2 p.m. and that ticket sales would occur \"beforehand\" and \"not at the event\" to cover costs. She said the food vendor will be Blessed Hands Food For the Soul.

The board also reviewed a request from Restoration Church pastor Mike Weller for multiple Sunday reservations at Dickman Park in August (Aug. 3, 10, 17 and 24) for church services, feeding and a hygiene giveaway. Board members raised concerns about the frequency, the lack of specifics about the feeding and hygiene activities, and the group's history of booking and not showing. The board agreed to approve Aug. 3 conditionally and asked staff to require liability insurance, upfront payment to hold dates, and that the pastor or a representative appear at the next board meeting with clearer plans before any additional Sundays would be held for the group.

Across approvals, the board instructed staff at the Geeter Center to confirm liability insurance and normal rental procedures before final confirmation. Several approvals included explicit direction that fundraisers must comply with park rules and not sell tickets on site.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Anderson City Park Board Meeting - 07-01-2025","oneSentenceSummary","The Anderson City Parks Board on July 1 gave consensus approval to several park rental requests while requiring liability insurance and, in one case, additional organizer information before approving recurring dates.","taxTitle","Anderson City, Madison County, Indiana","taxId",65228,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6160707,"Anderson City parks reports 100% compliance on Southside Pool and May Park splash pad; crews continue storm cleanup",165,378000,543000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5449411-566a5ede0045fac3549e7f9b1df15c47&start=378&end=543","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5449411-566a5ede0045fac3549e7f9b1df15c47/thumbnail_378000.jpg","/articles/6160707/Anderson-City/Madison-County/Indiana/Anderson-City-parks-reports-100-compliance-on-Southside-Pool-and-May-Park-splash-pad-crews-continue-storm-cleanup","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6160707-3bc8130a4d2554c37c9401d3f2359243/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185326&Signature=etN5OXs1qVH7Qu3tmDQE0cC-bIfCV9kPgbVL5fCNUu0vTq5lE6WT2qfkN~Kz2bSTE4HreAspyfo80OuCkiutH~bVSLZwUo7JVHkztuV7D3LiPLmyie43eQy6Svbba9ir52YdOV4Bqk1bC1KCnc9yi6qmkHqC4Dysf0XsUUDpuNCGjbU2X~BfZF4GEHE4UwlXjBFrzCA79TZZPWDA6-XMT1V5xyOiYXQ0DV47LWTFkqkB-CRzkNyoSk5XiMp9XWi2j3zZxay6ynuT4mMRuu18h4QbBOd~f6BGXoPMF8stKPWS7BB2voCH4awiLvoj0TF7-JZbWJmXhcfkaNc2u32gtg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","Parks and recreation maintenance superintendent Tom Tackett told the Anderson City Parks Board on July 1 that Southside Pool and the May Park splash pad passed Madison County Health Board inspections with \"100% compliance, no violations.\" Tackett said pool chemistry and equipment checks were within code.

Tackett also reported ongoing cleanup from recent storms. \"We did have some uprooted trees, 2 or 3 big ones, and a lot of limbs,\" he said, adding that limbs affected most parks and the trail system, with Jackson Park, Belmont Park and Streety Park largely spared. \"We're busy just with everything right now — mowing and... cleaning up limbs here and there,\" Tackett said.

The department also reported progress on landscape beautification projects. Tackett said crews completed work at Martin Luther King Jr. Park and on Anderson City gateway signs at several entries to the city; the board was shown before-and-after photos. Interim superintendent David Ikes told the board the park long-term control plan is in its final stages and should return for final approval within 30 to 45 days after minor state review.

Board members thanked maintenance staff for the work and were reminded of preparations for the July 3 celebration, which Tackett said will begin at 7 p.m. The board did not take further action on the inspections during the meeting.","Parks maintenance reported full compliance on pool and splash-pad inspections, ongoing beautification projects and tree/limb cleanup after recent storms; board was briefed on gateway sign revitalization and upcoming July 3 celebration preparations.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6160712,"Anderson City parks board accepts $283,192.31 in June expenditures",62,88000,150000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5449411-566a5ede0045fac3549e7f9b1df15c47&start=88&end=150","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5449411-566a5ede0045fac3549e7f9b1df15c47/thumbnail_88000.jpg","/articles/6160712/Anderson-City/Madison-County/Indiana/Anderson-City-parks-board-accepts-28319231-in-June-expenditures","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6160712-e09b71d1eb460c1493d2389e9f135508/orig.mp4?Expires=1771185326&Signature=HFtm25TV0n5AaamQFQhO2-iGeHL2jxUDBt2FUtzzk~NybJDwrXnanzz0106TPBDluyZCvKuDNAZIlNvTSw3aw3H7-6ClXAKsGSaXVOG3QCklHr3SxrQPgUFssC0EE9x286xOxChDwnZGnb9owde8dZJQ5d7cAyGP1s5wKinoEeTPOlKHvyXz3xkUDYzDOBfqt-N1BHdSb9xevyGG-vVXxg-1r3ogJVZoGpTPiNrD9tLyYTTjBkObwvJpmtNZmJrvN2K~bGjHdqXhz7EVm1VX79HL2pRh5n-XifTl0~OX4L5KAFHIoMbxLapIg9pktJfsGocGBZeLqZ6ERMrJldJ0mQ__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Anderson City Parks Board on July 1 voted to accept the parks department's June expenditures, including $113,101.07 in invoices and $170,091.24 in payroll, bringing total reported June spending to $283,192.31.

Board business administrator Diana Breineke presented the expenditures and payroll numbers to the board. \"The amount paid out was $113,101.07 in invoices. We had 2 payrolls. The payroll's total was $170,091.24, taking our total expenditures for the month of $283,192.31,\" Breineke said.

The report drew no substantive questions from board members. A board member moved to accept the accounts payable report and a second was recorded; President Betty Wiges called for the vote and the motion carried after members answered \"Aye.\" The board also handled an unrelated procedural motion earlier in the meeting to table approval of the June 4 minutes because of a preparation issue; that motion also carried.

The approved figures will be entered into the department's financial record as presented.
