Council commits matching funds to pursue $900,000 trail grant; timeline targets 2027 construction
Summary
Council committed matching funds from two accounts to support a rate grant application that could bring $900,000 for a town trail project; staff said plans should be finished in 2026 with construction beginning in 2027. Both account commitments passed unanimously.
Staff asked the council to commit matching funds from two separate town accounts to support a rate grant application that would add an estimated $900,000 toward a local trail project. The presenter said multiple additional funding sources were being pursued and asked the council to commit funds now to complete the grant match.
Councilors asked about the timeline and staff said they expect to finish plans in 2026 and begin construction in 2027 if funding is secured. The council voted twice—once to approve the commitment from the food & beverage account and once to approve the commitment from the impact-fee account. Both motions carried unanimously, 5–0.
Staff said the accounts remain active and continue to generate revenue even after the commitment; further project scoping and funding coordination will follow.
