Topeka council records Major Moves grant of $264,476 for East Park turf fields
Summary
The Topeka Town Council recorded that East Park received a Major Moves Grant of $264,476 to turf both fields; staff plan to use town equipment for installation and the town attorney is drafting a hold-harmless agreement, the minutes show.
The Topeka Town Council recorded that East Park has been awarded a Major Moves Grant totaling $264,476 to install turf on both of the park’s fields.
According to the meeting minutes, the Town Manager reported the grant award and noted that the Street Superintendent will use town equipment for the project. Town Attorney Bill Eberhard is preparing a hold-harmless agreement related to the installation.
At the start of the meeting Council President Adam Lambright called the meeting to order and Clerk-Treasurer Lea Parks recorded roll call: Council Members Steve Schrock, Justin Geigley, Ray Folk and Marlynn Mast were present. The council approved the minutes from its July 22, 2024 meeting on a motion from Ray Folk, seconded by Marlynn Mast; the minutes record the vote as 'All Ayes.'
The minutes list the grant amount as $264,476 for both fields but do not record a formal council vote to accept the grant within the text. The record indicates staff-level actions (equipment use) and legal preparations (hold-harmless agreement) are underway to implement the project.
The meeting concluded at 5:07 p.m. after a motion to adjourn by Ray Folk, seconded by Marlynn Mast; the minutes record the vote as 'All Ayes.' The next Park Council meeting is scheduled for Sept. 23, 2024 following the regular council meeting.
