Tetonia council picks Altura, Forsgren for park block grant; adopts budget amendment and updated fee schedule
Summary
The Tetonia City Council approved selecting Altura as grant administrator and Forsgren as engineer for a proposed park block grant (Resolution 2024-05 amended to specify Ruby Carson Park), adopted a Fair Housing resolution and a Citizen Participation Plan, approved a FY2024 budget amendment and updated the fee schedule (Resolution 2024-03).
The Tetonia City Council on Sept. 10 selected Altura as the grant administrator and Forsgren as the engineering firm for a proposed park block grant after a presentation by Taci Stoddard of ALTURA.
The council unanimously approved an authorizing resolution (Resolution 2024-05) with an amendment specifying “Ruby Carson Park” as the intended project site. City Planner Ashley Koehler presented the park proposal to the council during the public hearing; no members of the public spoke on the item.
Councilmembers also approved a package of related actions tied to the grant process. Blaine Ball moved to adopt Resolution 2024-04 affirming Fair Housing principles; Ryan Bonilla seconded and the motion passed. The council adopted a Citizen Participation Plan intended to guide public outreach on the block-grant project after a motion from Aaron Hansen and a second from Blaine Ball.
Separately, the council reviewed a breakdown of FY2024 cost overages and voted to approve a budget amendment for fiscal year 2024. The body also approved Resolution 2024-03, updating the city fee schedule, with an explicit clarification that credit-card fees charged by third-party vendors will be passed through to users.
All motions listed in the meeting minutes were made on the record: Altura selection (moved by Aaron Hansen, seconded by Blaine Ball), Forsgren selection (moved by Aaron Hansen, seconded by Blaine Ball), Fair Housing resolution (moved by Blaine Ball, seconded by Ryan Bonilla), Citizen Participation Plan (moved by Aaron Hansen, seconded by Blaine Ball), and the authorizing resolution naming Ruby Carson Park (moved by Ryan Bonilla, seconded by Aaron Hansen).
