Council authorizes mayor to accept $40,000 planning grant for proposed all‑wheels pump track
Summary
Centerville will accept a $40,000 planning assistance grant from the Utah Division of Outdoor Recreation to fund conceptual design and cost estimates for an 'all‑wheels' pump track; council approved authorization for the mayor (mayor pro tem) to sign the contract unanimously.
Parks staff told the council the state awarded Centerville $40,000 to prepare conceptual plans and cost estimates for an all‑wheels pump track that would serve bicycles, scooters, skateboards and other ‘all‑wheels’ modes. Bruce Cox, speaking for parks, said the planning grant carries no local match requirement and is intended to produce the design and the cost estimates necessary to apply for a larger construction grant later.
In response to several council questions about cost and location, Bruce Cox estimated construction costs would range from roughly $300,000 to $1,000,000 depending on site size and features; he also suggested designs could be made adaptable to multiple possible city sites. Councilor Meekum moved to approve the planning assistance contract and authorize the mayor (or mayor pro tem) to sign; the motion — amended to let the mayor pro tem sign that night — passed unanimously. Council asked staff to convene work sessions with the consultant and engage neighborhood stakeholders before committing to a construction match.
