City to apply for Route 66 Centennial grant for Wales Park improvements, staff seeks approval
Summary
Staff presented a proposal to apply for a $250,000 Route 66 Centennial infrastructure grant to add a flush restroom with water storage, dog park sections, LED lighting, and other amenities at Wales Park; staff gave project-level cost estimates and asked the commission to approve applying for the grant.
City staff and a parks presenter outlined a Route 66 Centennial grant proposal for improvements at Wales Park and sought commission approval to apply.
Darlene (last name not specified) presented the infrastructure proposal and said the city intends to seek up to $250,000 under the Route 66 Centennial program. "This is a $250,000, grant that we can, use," Darlene said. The proposed scope included a manufactured flush restroom with water storage, utilities, a fenced dog park separated into small- and large-dog sections (approximately 85 by 65 feet), six new LED light poles, security cameras, a concrete slab and utilities, trash and dog-waste receptacles, a small pavilion/canopy and matching picnic tables. The presenter gave a rough estimate of about $234,000 for initial park components and indicated the restroom building cost could vary widely depending on options.
The presenter asked the commission for approval to apply for the grant; questions followed about whether the city was applying to multiple grant categories. The transcript records staff seeking the commission’s direction to apply but does not show a formal roll-call vote in the meeting record.
