Tracy council accepts $60,000 donation from Men West Bank for Central Park improvements
Summary
The Tracy City Council on Sept. 23 accepted a $60,000 donation from Men West Bank to fund Phase 1 equipment for Central Park, with park board members and bank representatives participating in a ceremonial photo and brief remarks of thanks.
The Tracy City Council accepted a $60,000 donation from Men West Bank to support Central Park improvements, the chair announced during the Sept. 23 meeting. The donation was presented as covering roughly 50% of the cost of playground equipment and related components for the project’s first phase.
Council members invited representatives and park board members to pose for photos; the chair thanked the bank and the park board on the city’s behalf. The chair said the check was on hand and asked staff to coordinate deposit and publicity. Park board members expressed gratitude, saying the gift helps complete the initial equipment purchase and that the park project will continue through two more planned phases.
The donation was processed as New Business under Resolution 2024-86 and approved by the council by roll-call vote. The council’s action does not itself change project specifications; staff will proceed with procurement and installation procedures set out in prior planning materials.
Council members and park board representatives said they hope the private funding will help cover matching requirements and speed the playground installation. No contested positions or substantive objections were raised during the discussion; the presentation concluded with applause and the group photo.
