Durant council authorizes $35,000 matching application for Choctaw development funds to finish trail segment
Summary
The council approved a resolution authorizing application for Choctaw development matching funds of $35,000 to help complete part of the Crooked Smile Trail as part of the Durant Trails and Open Space project R2020 series; staff described the measure as a housekeeping item required by the funder.
The Durant City Council unanimously approved a resolution authorizing staff to apply for Choctaw development funds and to provide $35,000 in required matching funds for a Durant Trails and Open Space project.
Council identified the award as intended to help complete part of the Crooked Smile Trail. Staff characterized the item as a "housekeeping" action required by Choctaw Development for the grant application; the resolution authorizes the application and the local match so the city can pursue the grant.
There was no substantive debate on the project scope or cost beyond confirming the item would fund trail completion work connected to the ribbon-cutting project earlier the same day. The motion passed on a roll call vote recorded as: Council member Miller — yes; Council member Scheer — yes; Council member Fuller — yes; Vice Mayor Mike Simalescu — yes.
Staff did not present a project budget beyond the $35,000 local match figure nor a construction schedule at the meeting; details will be part of the grant application and future staff reports if the grant is awarded.
