Town of Luseland Mayor’s Report: Luseland Bell Acres Golf Club
By Kathy Wurz
The Town of Luseland has recently partnered with Luseland Bell Acres Golf Club to create a new employment opportunity. The golf club was having difficulty filling their groundskeeper position and approached the town for a collaborative solution. The Town of Luseland council felt this could be an opportunity to train a future facility manager for the arena and created a new job position with a considerable role in filling recreational needs. The position is currently being advertised with the deadline for applications set for Friday, April 26th, 2024.
The Town of Luseland adopted their 2024 budget at their council meeting on Tuesday, April 9th, 2024. Some key budget decisions included purchasing isolation valves for enhancing water infrastructure, scheduled culvert replacements for several spots with drainage issues, the demolition of two hazardous tax title properties on Main Street and some equipment upgrades at the arena. The council decided to keep the uniform mill rate factor the same for the 2024 budget year despite added challenges with inflationary costs and the significant increase to carbon taxes. We recognize the added pressures to our residents and tried to exercise fiscal restraint while still maintaining our current service levels.
Virtue Construction has also been booked to conduct street sweeping on Tuesday, May 7th and Wednesday, May 8th, 2024. We ask that residents have vehicles moved off the streets that day so that this job can be completed thoroughly and efficiently. Stay tuned for notifications using our H2Notify system which will inform you of this work prior to it commencing.
The Luseland town council pool committee has hired pool staff for the 2024. Online registration will open May 15th, 2024.
