Commission approves resolution to proceed with outdoor fitness course; matching funds remain unresolved
Summary
The commission passed Resolution 2025-10 to adopt and allocate funds to pursue an outdoor fitness course under the 2026 National Fitness Campaign; staff said the resolution is nonbinding and local matching funds — cited as roughly $86,000 in the discussion — would be required before accepting grants.
The Weatherford City Commission approved Resolution 2025-10 to adopt and allocate funds to pursue an outdoor fitness course under the 2026 National Fitness Campaign. Staff told commissioners the resolution is not a binding contract with the campaign; if the city later cannot secure the required local matching funds it could decline the grant.
Staff identified a $50,000 grant award from Blue Cross Blue Shield as part of the funding package and mentioned a "Moda" grant in discussion. During the presentation staff said the project would require a local match of about $86,000 (staff described the figure during the meeting as "about $86,000"); commissioners discussed whether that match could be included in next year’s budget or sought from private sources.
Commissioner Warren Goldman moved to approve the resolution; Commissioner Kendon Wood seconded. Commissioners voted unanimously to adopt the resolution with no immediate financial obligation committed by the city.
The action: motion by Warren Goldman, second by Kendon Wood; vote: Wood — aye, Ingram — aye, Goldman — aye, Smith — aye, Brown — aye; outcome — approved.
