Trustees approve pursuing 'Fishing Is Fun' grant to renovate gazebo restrooms; project estimate ~$93,452
Summary
The board approved continuing with a deadline-driven application asking for $70,000 to convert gazebo restrooms into a vault toilet; total project estimates quoted were about $93,452 with a town cash contribution and in-kind public works labor.
Mayor told trustees he submitted a 'Fishing Is Fun' grant application before the Friday deadline to renovate the gazebo restrooms and asked whether the board wanted to continue with the application. He said the total project cost, including a 20% contingency, "came up to $93,452," and that the town's share could include roughly $9,971 of in-kind public works work and up to about $13,000 in cash if necessary.
Trustees discussed contingency planning and alternative funding sources (including Revitalizing Main Street and other CDOT-funded RMS options). After discussion, a trustee moved and the board voted to continue with the Fishing Is Fun grant application and pursue alternative funding if required.
"The amount we'd be asking from, for fishing is fun is 70,000," the mayor said when describing the request to trustees.
