Lands pond plan moves forward in Garden City
Garden City considers building a pond along the river with potential federal and state permits. City officials, wildlife groups, and Scouts back the concept while a citizen committee would craft a plan and estimate costs. KDHE and Corps reviews, water quality tests, grants, and habitat work are planned to support fishing opportunities and possible stock.

GCRC Sets January Reserve to Maintain Operating Costs
GCRC plans to maintain a $150,000 reserve for January operating costs. Of that, $75,000 would stay in a Core Fitness fund at 941 Laren Road to cover potential contract exits with Stone Development. Another $75,000 would support deferred maintenance and possible facility updates. The board discussed fitness center reopening and bid processes but took no action. The Pecos League facility use agreement for Garden City Wind was approved, with a $1,200 lump sum and clearer sponsorship signage terms.
