Over the past 10 years, the City of Fulton has made several park improvements such as the Memorial Park
renovation, the Splashpad, Stinson Creek Creek Trail additions, the Dog Park, the Disc Golf Course, the addition of
new Shelters and playground equipment, etc. All of these improvements were done to make Fulton a better place to
live and improve the quality of life for its citizens. Over the last 9 months, the Park Board has been working on a new
Parks and Recreation Master Plan to help determine what the vision for the next 10 years needs to be. As part of that
process, the Board reviewed past Master Plans, conducted surveys, and gathered citizen input. They discovered that
many of this communitys recreational needs and demands are the same today as they were 30 years ago. There is
a strong demand for more indoor recreational and/or meeting space. Interest in youth sports is growing, and there
are demands for better sports facilities such as 5-field baseball/softball complex where a family can watch all of their
kids play ball in one central location. The City Pool is 33 years old and nearing the end of its functional life. The
community has expressed interest in having a more modern, family-friendly aquatic center that is more centrally
located, possibly in Veterans Park. The Park Board also identified close to 30 smaller projects that would improve
our park facilities.
The challenge with developing a master plan is finding the resources to implement these
necessary changes.
In an upcoming election (possibly April), the City will ask the citizens to consider a 1/2 cent sales tax increase for
Parks and Recreation, as well as Storm Water improvements. The proposed Parks project plan will include a variety
of major projects such as a new Community Center and new Outdoor Aquatic Center, a 5-Field Baseball/Softball
Complex, Stinson Creek Trail additions, and the development of Tennyson Road Park. In addition, there are several
other minor projects in the plan such as additional playgrounds, splashpads, batting cages, restrooms along the trail, a
veterans war memorial in Veterans Park, just to name a few. Many of these proposed improvements identified in the
Master Plan will keep citizens from having to travel to other towns for recreational services and opportunities. Many
of the recreational amenities will attract visitors to our community who will spend money at local businesses, helping to
boost our economy. Also, a portion of the sales tax will go toward stormwater improvements such as curbs, gutters,
and sidewalks. Currently, over 40%, or roughly 32 miles, of Fultons streets are without curb and guttering. This sales
tax would allow for a variety of improvements that will, in some way, benefit the majority of the citizens.
As you consider the Citys proposed Park projects and make your decision on the sales tax issue, I ask you to
consider two things: 1) What would this City be like today if the leaders from 40-50 years ago made no improvements
to this City?, and 2) What will this City be like in 40-50 years if we decide to make no improvements?
Our goal as a society should be to make the world we live in a better place for current and future generations.
Parks & Recreation/Stormwater Sales Tax will give us that opportunity.
Sincerely,
Clay Caswell

The City of Fulton will be lighting the 2nd Annual Wish Tree December 1st, 2015, at 5:30pm. Last
year, the tree was visited by nearly 1,000 people, and we hope to double that number this year by
creating the Fulton Festival of Lights in conjunction with the Wish Tree lighting. We are giving the
community an opportunity to be involved in the lighting festival by donating LED lights, a lighted
feature, or making a monetary donation. This will be a great way to get your business/organization
some exposure while brightening the holidays and community.
Below is details our donation levels as well as some picture examples of lighted features that can be
purchased. Our goal is to have a lighted display throughout all of Veterans Park. We look forward to
creating a community tradition for all of Fulton to enjoy!
