The City of Atlantic’s Parks and Recreation Department Board of Directors will hold a Special Meeting at Noon, Tuesday. The Board will meet in the City Council’s Chambers, to act on approving Shore Stabilization for Lake #2 at the Schildberg Rec Area, from the Troublesome Creek Project, and a bid of $60,000 from Heuton Earthmoving for the same project.

They will also act on approval for REMOVAL of the CAT (Community Attraction and Tourism) Grant Application, in order for it to be resubmitted in January, 2017.  The application was submitted earlier this year with hopes of receiving funds for the Schildberg Rec Area campground project, but no action was taken at Vision Iowa’s meeting in June. According to former Parks Director Roger Herring, the Vision Iowa Board was in the process of being “dissolved,” and replaced with an “Enhanced Iowa” program, and more effort was needed to garner private fundraising support for the project.
