Summary

Bay City approved a $1,000,000 contract with Sinclair Recreation for Carroll Park improvements; staff said $500,000 of the cost is covered by a grant and the city share will be charged to public improvement accounts and included in next year’s budget planning.

The commission voted to award a $1,000,000 contract to Sinclair Recreation (Holland, Michigan) for site improvements at Carroll Park.

City staff said the project carries a $500,000 grant that covers half the cost; the remaining city share will come from the public improvement account and is expected to be managed in next year’s budget. "It was a $1,000,000 project, and we were able to get $500,000 in grant money," staff said when commissioners asked about funding. Commissioner DeWitt requested clarification on which account the city's match would come from and staff identified public improvement funds.

The motion to approve the contract passed on a unanimous roll call (9–yes).
