Red Bank accepts TPL donation for trail and seeks arts grant to expand senior programming (on consent agenda)
Summary
Staff presented consent‑agenda resolutions to accept a $10,000 Trust for Public Land donation for the Godsey Ridge Trail (resolution 25‑1864) and to authorize an Arts Education Project Support grant application of up to $25,000 to the Tennessee Arts Commission (resolution 25‑1865); presentations included partners from TPL and an expected application deadline of Jan. 21.
On the consent agenda staff presented two items addressing parks and arts programming.
Park staff introduced a resolution to accept a $10,000 donation from the Trust for Public Land (TPL), funded in part by L.L. Bean, to support the Godsey Ridge Trail (resolution 25‑1864). David Johnson of TPL spoke about the partnership and noted in‑kind support may be provided; staff said the funds may be used immediately or over time for maintenance, access and community programming tied to the trail.
Commissioners also heard a resolution authorizing submission of an Arts Education Project Support grant application to the Tennessee Arts Commission (tier 3) for up to $25,000 to expand art classes for the city's active older adults program (resolution 25‑1865). Staff said the application deadline is Jan. 21 and that decisions are expected in early spring; if awarded the grant would fund teaching, supplies, outreach and an end‑of‑year art gala and would not require a local match.
Both items were presented on the consent agenda and advocates from partner organizations addressed the commission. The transcript does not record a formal vote on these consent items during the excerpt of the meeting.
