At a meeting of the Lebanon Board of Park Commissioners, the board approved installation of 18 sponsored tee signs and associated concrete tee pads at the Stoneater Bike Park disc golf course after hearing a presentation on course usage and sponsorships.
Kevin Chaney, who has run tournaments and produced design work for the course, told the board the course is tracked in the UDisc scoring app and has attracted more than 700 different players in the year since baskets were installed; Chaney said the course averages about 16 unique players per week. He brought sample tee-sign designs and said local businesses and individuals had sponsored individual holes, covering the cost of the signs and agreeing to replace them if damaged or stolen. Chaney said Hole 18 is dedicated in memory of John Collins, who died while playing on the course.
John (introducer; name given in meeting), who introduced Chaney, asked the board to approve the specific sign designs and sponsorships. Board members asked to quickly view the signs and the sponsor names; Chaney walked through the signs and identified sponsors including Disc Golf Mart, Moon Town Brewing Company, Goretech (HVAC), Cardinal Disc Golf, Hattie’s Coffee House and several individual donors. Chaney said he hopes concrete tee pads and permanent tee signs will improve course ratings and support weekly leagues and larger events.
A board member moved to approve the signs; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The meeting record does not include a roll-call tally for the vote.
The board requested follow-up data on day-to-day park use (weekend versus tournament attendance) and staff agreed to provide reports drawn from park counters and UDisc/Placer data. Chaney said sponsors have covered the production and replacement costs for the signs and that organizers will manage installation with park staff coordination.
The action means the course will receive the funded signage and concrete pads; Chaney and staff said they will coordinate installation timing and upkeep.
