Fort Smith Board to Consider Big-Budget Ordinance
The Fort Smith Board of Directors will vote on November 18 on an ordinance proposed by Director Christina Catsavis.
According to Director Catsavis, the ordinance will provide "guardrails" to avoid budget problems like the one with the Parrot Island water slides.
- Initial cost: $2.1 million for acquisition and installation
- Current estimated cost: over $6.3 million
- Board-approved budget: $4.2 million
The water slides planned for Parrot Island Waterpark in Fort Smith could now cost more than $6.3 million.
Acting Fort Smith City Administrator Jeff Dingman reported the low bid to install the slides was $2.8 million, exceeding the approved budget.
