DDA to research grant pairing for undisclosed donation to Washington Park equipment
Summary
A donor has offered to make a donation for new equipment at Washington Park; the donor amount was not disclosed and the DDA agreed to research equipment options and pursue a fall grant to supplement the contribution.
K. Sparks told the Bellevue Downtown Development Authority May 14 that an individual has offered to donate funds to purchase new equipment for Washington Park; the minutes state the donor’s dollar amount was not disclosed. The board discussed the possibility of applying for a grant in the fall to pair with the donation and begin planning a major improvement to park equipment.
Board members noted that a Parks and Rec grant had previously funded new basketball and pickleball courts in Eaton; they said they would research different park equipment options and potential grant programs. The minutes do not record a formal motion, a commitment of funds, or a specific vendor selection for park equipment. The board agreed to begin research and pursue a fall grant application alongside the potential donation.
