City Council Supports Park and Center Transfer
The Lake City Council heard from landlords and authorized the negotiations for the control of Annie Mattox Park and Richardson Community Center to the county. The action was recommended by a subcommittee which did not specify if the transfer would be covered by a long term lease.
The two facilities which are currently being administered by the city have been allocated with a $350,000 budget for improvements. The Richardson Center is owned by the city while a portion of the Annie Mattox Park owned by an independent board is leased to the city. The city and the county have undergone major renovations with the Annie Mattox amenities which includes a lighted football field.
