Committee recommends commission approve county match for Spring Creek multiuse path grant
The committee recommended the County Commission approve meeting the county's roughly $77,000 (5%) match for a $1,545,263 NDOT Transportation Alternatives grant to build a separated multiuse path linking Liberty Peak Elementary and nearby amenities, and asked staff to pursue alternative grant sources, including a potential $76,000 EEBCG allocation.
The full story
The Elko County Budget Committee voted to forward a recommendation to the full County Commission to meet the county's match obligation for a Transportation Alternatives grant that would fund a paved, separated multiuse path linking Liberty Peak Elementary with the Spring Creek Boys and Girls Club and other neighborhood amenities. Staff told the committee the grant totals $1,545,263 and that the county's 5% match obligation is roughly $77,000 because proposed in-kind matches (engineering, materials and labor offered by Spring Creek Association) could not be counted under procurement rules. As staff explained, "the funding is coming from the Federal Highway Administration through NDOT to the county." (Staff member.)
