Resolution: Authorizing Grant Application to RCO
The Council will vote to authorize the Mayor to submit a grant application to the Washington State Recreation & Conservation Office for Meadowdale Playfields LED Lighting. The City is seeking $595,000 grant funding from the Recreation and Conservation Office’s Youth Athletic Facilities Program for replacement of lighting at the Meadowdale Playfields. Improvements also include the addition of dug out covers. This project is included in the City’s Capital Facilities Plan under project #201500104.
The existing lighting is nearly 40 years old and has reached the end of its useful life. None of the five fields currently have dugout covers. The overall goal is to extend play by lengthening the amount of time sports participants can use the fields with consistent lighting and accessible dugouts.
The total project cost is anticipated not to exceed $1,700,000. Staff have identified $511,000 from 23/24 budget authorization and $200,000 is park impact feel eligible. Any remaining funds needed will be requested in the 25/26 Capital Budget.
