Council approves RCO park planning grant application on 4-2 vote
Summary
The Chewelah City Council approved Resolution 26-15 authorizing application for an RCO Park Planning Grant after staff presentation; the measure passed 4–2.
Chewelah City Council voted 4–2 June 17 to authorize applying for a Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO) Park Planning Grant under Resolution 26-15.
City Administrator Tonya Wallace presented the staff report recommending the application. Councilmember Paula Randall moved to approve Resolution 26-15 and Councilmember John Kabosky seconded; Deavon Jacobson read the title aloud. The roll call vote was recorded as four ayes and two nays and the motion passed.
Supporters said seeking the RCO planning grant would advance park planning and design work; opponents raised concerns during discussion about scope and local match requirements. The council did not record specific funding commitments at the meeting. The decision does not itself obligate city funds beyond any requirements noted in a future grant acceptance process.
The next immediate step is staff follow-up on the grant application process; no effective date was specified at the meeting.
