Resolution for Grant Application #18-2207 to the Recreation and Conservation Office for the West Fenwick Park Renovation - Recommend Each grant cycle (every other year) Parks staff has been very successful in pursuing funding for park development and acquisition of property through the Washington Recreation and Conservation Office (RCO). Parks staff is requesting authorization to submit a grant application to the RCO’s Land and Water Conservation Fund program to help fund the West Fenwick Park Renovation project. Currently, in the early design stages, the project aims to update worn-out features in the park, i.e., the playground, picnic shelter and add additional new amenities such as adding a Futsal court. This was a unanimous vote. MOTION: Move to recommend council adopt the resolution authorizing the submittal of grant application #18-2207 to the Recreation and Conservation Office, for funding assistance for the West Fenwick Park Renovation project.
