Parks staff say LWCF review favorable; Jesse James Park to get accessible equipment if match awarded
Summary
Staff reported positive LWCF feedback after sending financial letters and bank statements from Bremer and Kearney Lions Clubs; if the requested increase is approved, Jesse James Park would receive new surfacing, accessible swings and improved pathways.
Eric told the board staff forwarded letters and bank statements to the LWCF contact (Talia) showing the Bremer Lions Club and the Kearney Lions Club have funds committed to a subrecipient contribution for a Jesse James Park facelift. "She said, we love your project," Eric reported, summarizing the LWCF response.
If the additional LWCF support is awarded, staff said Jesse James Park would receive new equipment, an improved surface and pathways to shelters to improve accessibility for people with mobility impairments. Eric framed the improvements as increasing accessibility and noted community partners helped select sensory play equipment.
Staff emphasized the project is contingent on the LWCF decision and subsequent approvals; no formal commitment from the Board of Aldermen was recorded during this meeting.
