Summary
The Park Board approved a seven‑item consent agenda, heard October financials showing a planned $232,000 net loss for October and nearly 197,000 golf rounds year to date, and received committee updates including the DVCAC's unanimous election of Elizabeth Goldsmith as chair.
The Spokane Park Board approved a seven‑item consent agenda by voice vote at its Nov. 13 meeting.
Rich Lentz reviewed October financials, saying the month produced a planned net loss of about $232,000 and noting a timing variance in internal funds that inflated expenses earlier in the quarter. Lentz said revenues year‑to‑date were about $2 million above a two‑year average and that golf operations recorded roughly 197,000 rounds for the season.
Committee reports covered routine business: the forestry committee noted no meeting in October, the land committee discussed an alternate‑use request from the American Indian Cultural Center, and the development and volunteer committee and the DVCAC met Nov. 12. The DVCAC elected Elizabeth Goldsmith (Comstock Neighborhood Council) unanimously as its chair; members discussed Friends groups, trail signage in English and Salish and outreach via the Together Spokane site.
Board members closed the meeting with appreciation for staff and volunteers and adjourned. The President noted staff will present levy project lists and mapping in December.
