Staff reports progress on shooting range, Cottonwood Creek Trail, All-Abilities park and cemetery expansion
Summary
City special-projects staff updated the council on multiple projects, including the $1.2M shooting-range (25% complete), Cottonwood Creek Trail (75% complete), All-Abilities park planning and cemetery expansion outreach; staff also summarized grant totals received since 2020.
City special-projects staff presented a departmental update Sept. 16 covering multiple ongoing projects and recent grant successes.
Shooting range: Staff said construction of the 200-yard range is about 25% complete. The city has budgeted $1.2 million for the overall gun-range complex (the council also approved the budget reopener to reflect the grant/match), and staff said requests for bids and security-camera/fencing procurement are under way pending a final grant agreement.
Cottonwood Creek Trail: Staff reported phase 2 at roughly 75% complete, with bridge elements delivered and paving expected in October (weather permitting). Phase 3 outreach continues; staff noted volunteer and in-kind contributions have reduced costs.
All-Abilities park: Project concept designs are underway with three concept options; estimated cost ranges presented to the council were between about $500,000 and $1 million depending on the final design and fundraising. Staff said fundraising and a public-committee process remain next steps and that construction could occur in summer 2026 if funding is secured.
Cemetery expansion: Staff said most expansion will occur on city-owned land south of the road and that they are coordinating meetings with Duchesne County about potential county involvement and contributions.
Grant summary: Staff presented an overview of completed and active projects since 2020, noting roughly $11 million in grant awards toward about $30 million in project value that the city and partners have advanced through grants, in-kind donations and local investment.
Why it matters: The update summarizes the city’s progress on multiple multi-year capital and recreation projects, highlights continued grant success and signals near-term construction and procurement steps for several items.
Council reaction: Councilors praised staff and volunteers for the projects and asked for ongoing updates, particularly on fundraising for the All-Abilities park and final grant agreements for the shooting range and the large street project referenced in the manager’s report.
