The Parks Committee meeting held on October 2, 2025, in Green Bay, Wisconsin, focused on two significant agenda items: the approval of a forestry body purchase and the hiring of Wisconsin Public Service for utility installations.

The first item discussed was the approval to purchase a forestry body with a hoist from Casper's Truck Equipment for a total cost of $47,137. The city had previously bonded $182,700 for the purchase of a truck, which was acquired earlier this year for $96,767 and is currently at the parts shop. The committee noted that this purchase is part of a larger project, with additional costs for equipment and lighting expected to total approximately $149,000, well within the budget. The committee unanimously approved the motion to proceed with the purchase.

The second item involved hiring Wisconsin Public Service to install electrical and gas services for the JBS subdivision and park development, with a total cost of $225,000. This item was added to the agenda shortly before the meeting and was deemed acceptable for discussion by the committee, as the project manager for the city is now overseeing it. The committee did not express any opposition to this proposal, indicating a smooth path forward for the utility installations.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the committee's commitment to advancing city projects while remaining within budgetary constraints. The approval of both items reflects ongoing efforts to enhance city infrastructure and services.
