The Eureka Springs Parks and Recreation Commission is considering charging fees for events held at the Lake Leatherwood City Park ballfields.
At a workshop on Tuesday, April 6, the commission heard from interim director Scott Miskiel about a few different proposed fees at the park. Miskiel said the commission hasnt charged for the use of the ballfields for many years. The ballfields are a major maintenance expense at the park, Miskiel said, especially in the summer when its necessary to mow and weed-eat the area at least once a week.
It takes a lot of time, Miskiel said.

The Eureka Springs Parks and Recreation Commission is moving forward with its 2021 budget.
On Tuesday, Jan. 19, interim director Scott Miskiel presented the budget. With the help of the finance committee, Miskiel said, he has made some changes to the accounting that will make it easier to understand the budget in the future. Miskiel said the revenue from the 0.125 percent tax will now be placed in a separate account.
That way, it will make it very easy to track what is being paid and how that is being used, Miskiel said. Also since its restricted funds, I just dont like having them commingled.
