Committee discusses perimeter trail engineering and using Trails Plus funds
Summary
Members discussed moving existing engineering funds toward a perimeter-trail project, whether to use American Ramp Company for trail concept/design, and the need for construction documents and estimated costs to support an FY '27 Trails Plus grant application.
The committee reviewed options to use previously awarded engineering funds and to pursue FY '27 Trails Plus funding for a perimeter trail around the recreational complex.
Rocky and other members described preliminary scouting that identified choke points and possible alignment options. Committee members discussed whether to have the village's engineering firm complete construction documents or to allow a recreation-focused design firm (American Ramp Company) to produce concept design, flagging, drone photos and construction documents if contract and grant rules allow.
Panelists noted the grant is a 1:2 match and that the village has roughly $99,000 in awarded engineering funds; members asked the administration to confirm whether the Trails Plus award can be applied to both pump-track design and perimeter-trail engineering or whether the work must be separated. The committee asked Rocky to confirm contractual and procurement boundaries before the firm proceeds with flagging or design work.
