Fenton committee authorizes mayor to execute Municipal Park Grant agreement for Budweil Park Annex phase 1
Summary
Staff said the city was awarded a Municipal Park Grant to construct phase 1 of the Budweil Park Annex; the committee voted to authorize the mayor to execute the agreement and staff noted engineering will take about six months.
Nikki told the committee the city had been awarded a Municipal Park Grant for phase 1 of the Budweil Park Annex and asked for authorization for the mayor to execute the grant agreement to start the work. Committee members approved entering into the agreement; staff said design and engineering will take about six months and estimated the overall process at roughly 20 months. Staff recommended waiting until phase 1 design is under way before applying for the Land and Water Conservation Fund to improve competitive chances for that grant cycle.
Why it matters: the grant will fund the first phase of the park annex and begins a multi-step design and construction process; the committee authorized execution so staff can proceed with engineering and grant compliance steps.
