In 2004, the town board applied
for a $5000.00 grant for the Garfield Town Park. The
grant was approved with the Town of Garfield matching
the funds in dollars or in kind (meaning volunteer
work, etc.). The money was to be spent toward a new
parking area. A lot has happened since then to necessitate
the forming of a committee. Not only will we receive
the grant monies, but we are also going to receive
$350.00 per lot on all sub-divisions. This sub-division
money can only be spent on our parks. Approximately
20 – 30 thousand dollars will be received in
the next 12 – 16 months. We are very excited
about restoring the park back to its original condition
or better to serve the people of the area.
The Park Committee
meets as needed and meeting notices will be posted
here.
Below is a copy of the resolution
that was passed to establish the committee:
- The purpose of the committee
will be to advise the Garfield town board on all
matters concerning parks located in the Town.
- The Park Committee shall consist
of 5 residents of the Town of Garfield.
- The Park Committee shall establish
a working relationship with the Comprehensive Planning
Committee.
- Committee members shall be appointed
by the Garfield town board.
Some of the functions of the committee
shall be to:
- Work with outside consultants
- Help in the design and layout
of parks
- Long range planning
- Allocate where park funds are
to be spent
- Write grant applications
- Work with contractors
- Set guidelines for the use of
the parks
