Summary

Parks and Recreation will apply for a Special Roads Fund grant for a chip seal and overlay on Leistikow Park Road; council approved city sponsorship and indicated local share options; Councilor Darrin Wollitz recused from the vote.

Bill Dahl of Parks and Recreation told the City Council that the department plans to apply for a Special Roads Fund grant to perform a chip seal and overlay project on Leistikow Park Road. The grant application is due Nov. 30 and the project is slated for 2025–2026 construction. Mr. Dahl presented a project map and said the city must sponsor the application; local share options discussed included a Bank of North Dakota loan or financing through the City.

Councilman Greg Young moved and Councilman Donavon McMillian seconded a motion to approve city sponsorship of the grant application. Councilman Darrin Wollitz recused himself from the vote because he also serves on the Park Board; the remaining members voted in favor and Mayor West declared the motion carried.

The minutes record the city's approval to sponsor the grant and the recusal but do not specify the selected local financing option or a final project cost estimate beyond the schedule and application deadline.
