Council approves application to Claremont County Parks District for Nisbet Park swings
Summary
Council approved Resolution 31 authorizing the city manager to submit a Community Parks Improvement grant application to the Claremont County Parks District to fund a component of the Nisbet Park walking-trail project (two high-quality swings); the grant request is $20,000 with a required 25% match.
Loveland City Council voted 6-0 to authorize the city manager to submit a Claremont County Parks District Community Parks Improvement grant application to fund a swings component of the Nisbet Park walking-trail project.
A city representative described the larger project: the city previously obtained an ODNR NatureWorks grant for walking-trail extension and other improvements and is now seeking a Claremont County grant to fund two high-quality fabricated metal swings identified as a discrete component. The application requests the $20,000 maximum available from Claremont County; the project requires a 25% local match ($5,000). The speaker said the city is leveraging the NatureWorks award (about $50,600) and a $10,000 donation from the chamber to reach the component cost, which the speaker listed as approximately $56,001.10; the total walking-trail project was described as about $96,000.
Council members asked about lighting; staff said path lighting (bollard-style) is being considered but that overhead lighting at the swings is not currently envisioned because lighting can attract nighttime activity. The council adopted Resolution 31 by roll call, 6 to 0, and staff said the grant, if awarded, would allow the city to return the overall project to its originally budgeted city share.
