Recreation committee approves grant-writing contract and splash-pad garden cleanup
Summary
The Recreation Committee authorized up to $12,300 for Farnsworth to prepare an OSLAD grant application and master plan for Lincoln Park, and approved up to $4,200 for cleanup and mulching of the butterfly garden and plantings near the splash pad.
The Recreation Committee approved a consultant proposal and a maintenance contract to support Lincoln Park improvements. Committee members said the OSLAD (Open Space Land and Development) grant competition is competitive and authorized a Farnsworth proposal not to exceed $12,300 for grant writing and master-plan development; committee approved the motion to accept the proposal and to incorporate costs into the grant if awarded.
The committee also reviewed a formal bid from Bob Schumacher for cleanup and mulching of the butterfly garden and related plantings near the splash pad. The contractor's quote was $4,200 and included replacing plants that failed to establish; the committee moved and approved the work not to exceed $4,200.
What happens next: Staff will include the Farnsworth proposal in the grant packet as allowable consultant costs if the OSLAD application proceeds and will schedule the butterfly-garden maintenance work with the vendor.
