Summary

The board approved Resolution 3302 authorizing a grant application seeking up to $30,000 to mill and resurface about three miles of an existing trail; county grant writer Josh Cotton described the request as the first of several foundation asks.

The Board of Commissioners approved Resolution 3302 authorizing the county to submit a grant application to a statewide foundation to fund rehabilitation of an existing trail.

Josh Cotton, identified in the meeting as the county’s grant writer, told commissioners the request is for a maximum of $30,000 and would fund milling and resurfacing work on approximately three miles of trail. Cotton said this application is the first of several foundation requests the county plans to submit and that the county is optimistic about beginning construction during the next construction season if funding is secured.

A commissioner moved to approve Resolution 3302 so the county could submit the application; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. Commissioners said the work would improve areas of the trail that are in “dire need of fixing up” and that the resolution is a necessary step to make the county eligible for the foundation’s funding process.

County staff indicated that follow-up foundation applications are expected in coming months and that the grant decision would affect scheduling for the planned resurfacing work.
