Reports from City Personnel — M.6

300 Railroad Street, PO Box 259 Tiffin, IA 52340 P. 319-545-2572 F. 319-545-4147 www.tiffin-iowa.org To: Mayor and City Council From: Grant Weber, Parks and Recreation Director Date: 6/2/2026 Subject: Parks and Recreation Director’s Report to Council Parks The Parks and Recreation Department really came to life in late April and May. Work began on the disc golf course and so far we’ve been hearing really positive feedback from users. Parks and Rec and Public Works are planning to have discussions about supporting a full 18-hole course and starting work on that possibly in late 2026 or 2027. City Park Ball Fields continue to see heavy use. Rec league play has been smooth, and tournaments are booked at the facility every weekend through June. Volleyball courts have also been heavily used. To prevent boundary lines from being moved without permission, Public Works installed a new anchor system. We’re also looking into ways to keep balls in the playing area, and other wind block options to reduce losing sand over time. Concessions have been consistent, with sales reports showing an increase of 49% in sales from Jan 1 – May 28, 2026, vs Jan 1 – May 28, 2025. Our managers have excelled at training staff, managing the cash drawer, and staying on top of inventory and supplies. The whole team has really been doing a great job. Programs Several recreational programs are currently up and running, with more set to start this summer. Baseball, softball, and t-ball will be wrapping up in June, and we’ll shift to other sports like flag football, volleyball, soccer camps, and more. RecDesk software implementation is moving forward and one track. The goal is to have the software accessible to the public for several programs by July 1. That date may get pushed back to ensure everything is running as expected. Other options like facility rentals, memberships, and more will be available as we get closer to the Rec Center opening. The new Adult Volleyball League’s first day was May 28. We offered two timeslots, which allowed us to bring in 8 teams. We managed to hit 8 teams registered nearly a week before our registration deadline. I am planning to offer a second session that will start in mid-July. I am also looking at options to offer a 3rd time slot to allow for more team registrations in the future. Events Our inaugural Tiffin Summer Social – Parties in the Park events are set to start on June 12. Planning has been smooth and we’re excited to reach the community in new ways. 1
