Clifton Heights receives $125,000 CDBG award for Fadden Park equipment; council asks for parkmobile revenue update
Summary
Borough staff reported the county community block grant award of $125,000 for Madison Avenue and Fadden Park improvements and council asked staff to provide an update on ParkMobile revenue by the September meeting.
Clifton Heights borough staff told council the borough received a $125,000 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) award from the county to fund Madison Avenue and Fadden Park improvements, including replacement park equipment, and council asked for a ParkMobile revenue report by the September meeting.
The manager said the borough "received a $125,000 towards the Madison Avenue with Fadden Park Improvements when we take the equipment down. There's a $125,000 for new park equipment for that area." No further budget details or a timeline for the installation were provided in the transcript.
A council member asked for a ParkMobile report to show how much revenue the system generates and whether any actions are needed; staff said the report was on the manager’s desk and would be brought to the September meeting. The transcript does not record the detailed breakdown of CDBG line items, the vendor for park equipment or the project schedule.
Why it matters: The CDBG award provides dedicated funding for park equipment in a neighborhood park and will require project planning and procurement to replace playground equipment and complete related improvements.
What’s next: Staff to present ParkMobile revenue figures at the September meeting and to include grant implementation steps in upcoming agendas. The transcript shows the award was announced to council; no formal vote or appropriation action was recorded at the meeting.
