SUMMARY STATEMENT:
One of the McCall-Donnelly Education Foundation’s 2017-2018 grant program goals is to promote
healthier lifestyles and physical activities with funding awards of at least $2500.
The Parks and Recreation Department would like to submit at grant request of up to $3000 to replace old
and outdated youth Nordic ski equipment that was obtained used from Gravity Sports over 15 years ago.
The equipment, which included classic skis, boots and poles, was used by the following groups:
1. Boy Scout Troops- annual jamboree in McCall
2. McCall Winter Sports Club
3. McCall Daycare- winter fieldtrips to Ponderosa State Park
4. Council Elementary School- Annual ski/snowshoe field trip at state park
5. Loaner Equipment Program- Approx. 20 times a season
Twenty-four (24) complete sets were donated to Council School District after their annual field trip to
McCall in March. The department would like to purchase fifteen sets (120-160cm skis, boots and poles) of
used rental gear from one of our local sports dealers in McCall. Currently, there are 10 sets remaining.
The grant application will be prepared in cooperation with Delta James, Economic Development Planner,
and submitted through her office.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approve submittal of a McCall-Donnelly Education Foundation Grant application for purchase of youth
Nordic ski equipment and authorize the Mayor to sign all necessary documents.
