Board backs $500,000 ODNR grant application that could fund pool replacement, park improvements
Summary
Alliance City Parks staff and commissioners agreed to pursue a $500,000 ODNR grant application in two phases; about $250,000 could go toward Butler Rodman Park improvements and another portion toward replacement of the Robertson Community Pool (RCC).
The Alliance City Board of Park Commissioners approved a motion to pursue an ODNR grant application totaling $500,000, to be pursued in two phases.
Staff told the board that roughly $250,000 of the proposed grant funding could be used for enhancements at Butler Rodman Park, including new pickleball courts and a water feature, while the ODNR portion might support replacement of the Robertson Community Pool (RCC). Parks staff noted that the largest ODNR award the department has previously received was $250,000.
Commissioner Jennifer Mastroianni moved to approve staff’s funding proposals, including the ODNR application; Commissioner Esther Whiteleather seconded, and the motion passed unanimously. The minutes record the board entering the staff handout detailing proposed distributions into the record; the application’s timeline and match requirements were not specified in the meeting minutes.
