Resolution #021026-07 – Approve Submission of T-Mobile Hometown Grant Application Murray/ Motion: to approve Resolution #021026-07 – Approve Submission of T-Mobile Hometown Grant Application. Parks and Recreation Manager Ryan Merritt explained the Pleasant Hill City Council has consistently supported grant applications that advance park improvements, placemaking efforts, and amenities that enhance accessibility, equity, and community use of public spaces. The Parks and Recreation Division is requesting to submit an application to the 2026 T-Mobile Hometown Grant Program for a court mural project at Sunrise Park. The proposed project would transform the existing combined futsal and basketball court into a vibrant, mural-style surface, along with repairing existing surface cracks. Sunrise Park is a 7.5-acre neighborhood park located nearby to Pleasant Hill Elementary School and serves a diverse population. The court mural is intended to create a more welcoming, inclusive, and engaging recreational space that encourages multi-generational and gender-inclusive play while strengthening community identity and pride. If awarded, grant funding would support artist fees, surface preparation, specialty sport-court paint materials, protective coatings, restriping, signage, and a community engagement and launch event”.
