The Starke County Park Board discussed the procurement of consultants from The Troyer Group that would help make a more solid plan on possible upgrades needed at the Bass Lake Beach and Campground.
Up until now, the board has just been fixing little problems as needed, but the board would like to see some more permanent fixes and upgrades that would help to bring in more revenue to the county.
Plans for certain projects, like electrical upgrades, are being sought.
Acquiring Troyer Consulting Group services would cost $19,000. They would create a master plan for the upgrades, set budgets, and file an application for the Water Conservation Fund Grant.
The entire contract cost would not be paid up front, but in installments. If work is not satisfactory, then the board can stop any future payments.
A motion was made to hire Troyer Group and it was passed unanimously.
