City staff: Brown Park grant successful; notice to proceed expected in November
Summary
Staff announced the city received a Brown Park reimbursement grant (transcript states the grant package is just over $1,000,000 and that grant funding is $667,000) and expects notice-to-proceed paperwork in November with an anticipated ground-breaking next summer.
City staff told the Parks Commission that the Brown Park grant application was successful and that the award is a reimbursement grant. Staff stated that the overall package is "just over $1,000,000" and that the grant funding figure given in the meeting is $667,000. Staff said the state will issue notice-to-proceed paperwork (expected in November) and that the city hopes to break ground next summer.
Staff noted they are working with a playground manufacturer and are advancing plans ahead of receiving formal notice to proceed. The grant was described in the meeting as reimbursement-based, meaning the city will incur costs and then submit for reimbursement under grant terms.
Next steps: staff will await formal notice to proceed from the state and continue design and procurement work to hit a summer ground-breaking window if schedule and reimbursements proceed as anticipated.
