County approves $200,000 to East Gull Lake for regional trailhead and nature preserve
Summary
The Board unanimously approved a $200,000 allocation from Fund 73 to the City of East Gull Lake to support engineering, design, and construction of a regional trailhead and nature preserve connected to the Gull Lake Trail Master Plan.
Laura Christensen, City Administrator for the City of East Gull Lake, asked the Board for $200,000 from Fund 73 to help fund engineering, design, and construction of a regional trailhead, nature preserve, and outdoor recreation area tied to the Gull Lake Trail Master Plan. Christensen said the county contribution would be used to leverage additional financial support, including a nonprofit partner, and clarified that sports courts were not part of the request and would be financed separately by the nonprofit.
Commissioner Neal Gaalswyk moved to approve the $200,000 allocation from Fund 73 for the project; the motion was seconded by Commissioner Scott Bruns and approved unanimously. The funding was presented as an investment to leverage outside support and to advance the trail master plan’s recommendations; next steps include coordination with participating public entities and nonprofit partners identified by the city.
