The council scheduled a special public meeting for Aug. 18 at 7 p.m. to discuss a proposed park project and community fundraising tied to a county foundation grant opportunity.
The chair said Fountain City is eligible to apply for roughly "$360 some thousand dollars" from the foundation, and noted the town would need to conduct fundraising (including donations and local drives) because the state will match up to $50,000 of money the town raises. The council voted to schedule the public meeting and directed staff to coordinate with foundation representatives who will attend to explain grant requirements and deadlines (decision by Oct. 1; 90-day fundraising window if awarded).
