Special meeting approves application for Land and Water Conservation Fund grant for Murm Park Playground
Summary
Officials approved a resolution to apply for Land and Water Conservation Fund assistance for Murm Park Playground to replace courts and playground equipment, add surfacing and a shading pavilion; transcript notes $70,000 already spent and an additional Department of Commerce grant was submitted.
Chair opened a special meeting to authorize an application for Land and Water Conservation Fund assistance to improve Murm Park Playground, saying the item was to approve “resolution 20 20 five-five 10 authorizing the application for the Land and Water Conservation Fund.”
According to the transcript, Chair said the grant “is in the amount of $185,000” and stated that “$92,500 is the request and a match.” Chair described the project as removing deteriorated tennis courts and playground equipment, installing new playground equipment and surfacing, and erecting a shading/sitting pavilion adjacent to the playground. The transcript also records that about $70,000 has already been spent on equipment and that those funds are already paid for.
Chair noted the jurisdiction had also applied for another grant through the Department of Commerce, which “was submitted on the fourteenth.” Chair said both grants, if awarded, would help complete the Murm Park project.
The meeting approved the resolution by voice vote after the Chair called for the question: “If not, all those in favor? Aye. Opposed? Motion carried.” The transcript does not identify who made the motion or who seconded it, nor does it record vote tallies. After the vote the Chair moved to adjourn; that motion also passed by voice vote.
The meeting adjourned after the approvals. The transcript uses the name “Murm Park Playground” and refers to “resolution 20 20 five-five 10”; those spellings and the resolution identifier appear as spoken in the record and were not verified in the transcript.
