Council approves application to Payette Lakes Progressive Club for youth recreation scholarships
Summary
The council authorized staff to apply for up to $1,000 from the Payette Lakes Progressive Club to fund recreation scholarships for approximately 25–30 youth; the motion passed by roll call at the meeting.
The McCall City Council approved a request from Parks and Recreation to apply for up to $1,000 from the Payette Lakes Progressive Club to fund youth recreation scholarships.
Delta James, economic development planner and grant writer for the city, said the application is a routine request to supplement an existing scholarship program that historically has helped roughly 25 to 30 children annually participate in city recreation programs. James said the Progressive Club previously funded youth equipment and scholarships in prior years.
Council action: a motion to submit the grant application and accept funds if awarded was made and seconded; the council conducted a roll call and the mayor announced the motion carries.
Why it matters: the funds would expand a first‑come, first‑serve scholarship pool used to help families with financial hardship (house fires, economic disadvantage, etc.) send children to programs ranging from mountain biking to ski lessons and no‑school‑day camps.
Next steps: staff will submit the application and, if awarded, place the funds in the scholarship program to be administered by Parks and Recreation.
Ending: Council members thanked James and supported the application as a continuation of an established partnership with the Payette Lakes Progressive Club.
