Summary

Parks staff will apply for a state-administered Land and Water Conservation Fund grant to replace the 30-year-old Anderson Park playground; the city would contribute $75,000 matching funds.

The council approved a resolution authorizing the parks and recreation department to apply for a Land and Water Conservation Fund grant to replace the aging playground at Anderson Park.

Matt Braun of Parks and Recreation told council the playground is about 30 years old and the department budgets for one playground replacement each year. The project cost is $150,000; the city’s budget would supply $75,000 and the grant would provide a $75,000 match. Braun said the state Game and Fish office administers the program, which uses federal funds administered at the state level.

Council moved, seconded and approved the resolution by roll-call vote. Staff said the project could include trials of recycling containers near park amenities and will proceed with design and grant application steps if authorized.
