Construction on Bastrop s $395,000 planned skate park in Fisherman s Park is about 30% complete, Assistant City Manager Rebecca Gleason told the council at its May 11 meeting as part of an update on public infrastructure projects. The first phase of the skate park s construction process features about 5,000 square feet of poured concrete in Fisherman’s Park. The city awarded the skate park s construction project to Artisan Concrete Services last year. Construction began in March and is scheduled to be finished this summer, according to city documents. The City Council opted in October to move forward with plans for the skate park despite a construction cost increase of about $100,000. The cost increase came after a geo-tech report performed as part of the design process determined the need for remediation to existing soils at the project site, inflating the project s cost from $289,000 to about $395,000, with all skate park features included. ....
The city of Bastrop is projecting a hotel occupancy tax revenue shortfall of more than $500,000 this fiscal year compared to initial budget forecasts, leading the City Council to discuss potential cost cutting measures and possible policy changes.

Hotel tax funds may only be used to directly promote tourism and the convention/hotel industry, as per the state comptroller s office. The city, in its approved fiscal year 2021 budget, projected it would collect about $2.26 million in hotel tax revenue. Officials, however, have updated the budget forecast and have lowered the city s expected revenue to about $1.72 million, a $543,400 decline from the initial estimation. Officials are now left scrambling for ways to close the gap. ....
