Bike park project misses LWCF grant; commissioners discuss $4,000 survey and alternative funding
Summary
Commissioners were told the city did not receive the LWCF grant for the bike park and discussed applying for State Parks per-capita funding, coordinating volunteers to clear the site, a roughly $4,000 drone/survey estimate and outstanding contractor expenses involving Dana Creech.
Commissioners were told the city "did not receive the LWCF grant for the bike park," and staff said they plan to apply for an upcoming State Parks per-capita round while coordinating volunteers to ready the site.
"The city received notice that we did not receive the LWCF grant for the bike park," a meeting participant reading staff materials said, and the packet notes a community on-site meeting will be held to gather visioning input. Commissioners also discussed interim cleanup steps—cutting weeds and taking tarps off—so that a survey team can document current elevations.
Commission discussion included the cost of a survey and drone imagery. One commissioner said staff had an estimate of about $4,000 for pictures and elevations to support a formal assessment. The transcript also records a contractor named in the packet: "Dana Creech is the contractor." Commissioners reported that donations have come in but that some contractor expenses remain outstanding and some work was done without formal contracts. One speaker estimated an outstanding amount as "$150, something like that," described in the meeting as an approximate figure.
Next steps the commission discussed include securing the initial survey to establish scope, pursuing the State Parks per-capita grant with city-council approval, coordinating volunteer cleanup, and seeing if a pending large private donation materializes to help cover expenses.
