SUMMARY STATEMENT:
The City of McCall Parks and Recreation Department is seeking approval for submittal of an Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation (IDPR) Land and Water Conservation Fund grant in an
amount not to exceed $160,000 (exact grant request TBD) to support the purchase and installation of a new playground, engineering costs and ADA accessibility improvements. Public hearings
and surveys for these improvements have been done. All proposed plans reflect those comments and or concerns. The survey results are attached.
City staff have budgeted for $135,000 in CIP funds to be used as match funds for this grant opportunity as it is only available on certain years for small/local governments. The $135,000
in combination with in kind city labor on this project will position the application to have a 50% or more match contribution. This will greatly increase the odds of being awarded grant
funds. IDPR administers funds for the Lands and Water Conservation Fund throughout the state. The City has applied for and received IDPR funding in the past, most recently in 2015 to
improve the City boat launch and access ramp. If the grant is awarded, future Council action will be needed to approve the grant agreement.
The McCall Parks and Recreation Advisory Committee, Valley County Waterways Advisory Group, and the McCall Urban Redevelopment Agency are aware of the project and have submitted letters
of support. Staff are currently working with Crestline Engineering to ensure this phase of the overall projet works with long term infrastucture needs and plans. Future improvements
slated to take place along the waterfront to the South have also been considered and accounted for as we move forward with this project. An excerpt of the Playstructure plan is attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve submission of an Idaho Department of Parks and Recreation Land and Water Conservation Fund grant application and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
