Staff to apply for up to $15,000 Big Game license coalition grant to revegetate riverbank; project needs additional funding
Summary
Parks staff asked permission to apply for a Governor's Big Game License Coalition grant of up to $15,000 to plant riparian vegetation along the river; estimated total cost for the project is about $40,000 and staff said private river‑fund or other match will be sought.
Jolene (staff) asked the Casper City Council for authorization to apply to the Wyoming Governor's Big Game License Coalition for a riparian planting grant to revegetate the banks from Rod Park to the water treatment plant.
She said the coalition grant typically provides up to $15,000 and that the estimated cost to complete the desired revegetation work is about $40,000. Staff told the council there is no required cash match for the coalition grant, but the $15,000 would not fully fund the planned scope and that the city would seek additional private funding from the river fund and other sources.
Councilmembers had no objection and staff said they would proceed with the grant application.
