Mulga pauses splashpad grant work after ADECA reimbursement requirement
Summary
Mayor W. Keith Varner told the council the Christmas tree has arrived but the splashpad project is on hold after the Regional Planning Commission informed the town that ADECA requires upfront payment and reimbursements could take months.
Mayor W. Keith Varner said the town's Christmas tree has arrived, but the splashpad project is being paused after a briefing from the Regional Planning Commission. "We had a meeting last Thursday and were informed that Mulga would have to pay for everything up front," Varner said, adding that "ADECA would reimburse costs if everything met their approval and that could take several months."
The decision puts planned splashpad work on hold for now. The mayor framed the pause as fiscal caution: paying months in advance would strain the town's cash flow until reimbursements arrive. The council did not vote on funding for the splashpad during this meeting and will revisit the project if circumstances change.
