Council told RCO grant reviewer concerned about Coulee Playland lease expiring in 2029
Summary
Engineering staff said an RCO grant reviewer is uneasy about a concessionaire lease that expires in 2029; Mayor Diane Kohout will present to the RCO grants board Feb. 18 seeking funds for Coulee Playland ABA/ADA upgrades.
Electric City engineering staff told the council that preparations are underway to address ABA/ADA deficiencies at Coulee Playland and that the RCO (Recreation and Conservation Office) grant reviewer expressed concern about the concessionaire lease expiring in 2029. Mayor Diane Kohout plans to present to the RCO grants board on Feb. 18 seeking funding to offset required upgrades.
Council discussion centered on the need to resolve lease-term questions before the RCO will finalize grant support. The minutes record that staff are preparing a formal presentation for Feb. 18; no grant award or binding commitment was recorded at the Feb. 11 meeting.
The lease expiration and its effect on grant eligibility were raised as a material concern by the grant reviewer; council follow-up and the mayor's presentation are the next procedural steps listed in the minutes.
