Fish are coming to Mansel Carter Oasis Park, 19535 E. Appleby Road, as the Queen Creek Town Council approved an intergovernmental agreement with Arizona Game and Fish Department to join the Community Fishing Program.
The decision was part of the consent agenda at the Wednesday, Aug. 15 regular meeting. Mansel Carter Oasis Park is slated for a grand opening Saturday, Sept. 1.
The agreement is not to exceed $7,347 annually for five years, working out to $36,735 over the term of the agreement, according to a city staff report. For fiscal year 2019, that money is non-budgeted and will come out of grounds maintenance funding, the report stated.
