Detroit council OKs resolution to apply for state parks and recreation grant
Summary
Council unanimously approved Resolution 674 authorizing the city to apply for a parks and recreation grant through the Oregon Department of Parks and Recreation and amended a pavilion-related sentence in the resolution before passage.
The Detroit City Council unanimously approved Resolution 674 on March 11, 2025, authorizing the city to apply for a parks and recreation grant through the Oregon Department of Parks and Recreation. Councilor Michele Tesdal introduced the resolution and proposed a wording change to a line referencing the pavilion before the council voted.
"Part of the grant we applied for through Oregon Department parks and recreation department grant. Part of the grant is getting the approval from council to apply for this grant. This is what Resolution 674 is for," Councilor Michele Tesdal said in presenting the request. Councilor Denny Nielsen moved to accept RES 674 and Dean O'Donnell seconded; roll call was unanimous in favor.
The resolution gives city staff authority to submit an application for grant funding intended for park and recreation improvements; Tesdal said the council's approval is a required part of the state grant application. The council also approved a minor amendment to the pavilion-related wording in the resolution before adopting it.
The next procedural step is submission of the application to the Oregon Department of Parks and Recreation; council did not set a specific local match or timeline in the meeting record. The council took the action as part of a packet of routine and project-specific motions at the March session.
