Council authorizes $500,000 ORTTF grant application for Belfry Bridge boat ramp; city match $215,000
Summary
Staff will submit a Wyoming Outdoor Recreation and Tourism Trust Fund application seeking $500,000 for Belfry Bridge boat ramp construction; staff said the city match would be $215,000 for a total project package of $715,000, and the council adopted a supporting resolution.
Philip Bowman told the council staff will submit a Wyoming Outdoor Recreation and Tourism Trust Fund (ORTTF) application seeking $500,000 for construction of the Belfry Bridge boat ramp improvement project. Bowman said the application requires a city match and that the city’s proposed match is $215,000, yielding a total funding package of $715,000. He also said staff has grant funding in place for design with Wyoming Game and Fish and that a second grant application is being considered to stack with the ORTTF request.
Councilmember Tamblin asked how many survey responses had been received; Bowman said 104 responses had been collected as of that morning. Councilmember Sherry pressed on the city match calculation and Bowman explained the ORTTF can provide up to 70% of total funding; using that formula ($500,000 divided by 0.7) produces the estimated total and the resulting city match. The council approved the resolution authorizing submission of the ORTTF application.
