Director Kevin Settle is advocating for the Fort Smith Board of Directors to fund the installation of water slides at Parrot Island Waterpark, despite the high costs.
A recent bid revealed that the installation would cost $2.8 million, exceeding the approved budget of $4.2 million. The city has already spent $3.55 million on acquiring and preparing the slides.
Director Settle believes the board should "do something very special" and fund the water slides.
