Bennet council OKs intent-to-apply for Nemaha NRD grant for trails or native grass
Summary
Council authorized submission of an Intent-to-Apply to the Nemaha Natural Resources District for funds that could be used for the trail program or to establish native grass at Whispering Pines Park.
Mayor Ryan Cheney introduced a Nemaha Natural Resources District (NRD) grant opportunity and the council voted to submit an Intent-to-Apply form on Feb. 9. Council Member Dan Zieg moved to submit the Intent-to-Apply form for grant funds that can be used for the trail program or native grass at Whispering Pines Park; Josh Buck seconded the motion and the vote was unanimous.
The motion does not commit the city to a specific project or match; it authorizes staff to pursue initial grant application steps so the city can seek funds for park or trail improvements if the grant is awarded. The council discussed possible uses but did not allocate funds at this meeting.
