Resolution #060926-05 – Approve Application to Polk County Community Development Grant Hodges/ Motion: to approve Resolution #060926-05 – Approve Application to Polk County Community Development Grant. Parks and Recreation Manager Ryan Merritt explained The City of Pleasant Hill is pursuing a community development grant through Polk County Community Grants. The Community Development Grant is a funding opportunity for local service organizations, funding projects between $15,000 and $100,000. The Pleasant Hill Parks & Recreation Department is seeking to apply for a Community Development Grant in the amount of $80,000 to fund a Regional Sports Facility Feasibility Study. If awarded the grant, the funds would retain a qualified consultant to evaluate indoor field and court facility options including indoor turf and court space, support areas, and parking that would expand year-round recreational access for youth, school-aged, and adult participants in Pleasant Hill and the broader Eastern Polk County region. The study will include community engagement, stakeholder interviews, demand analysis, benchmarking of comparable facilities, preliminary cost estimates, operating projections, and potential funding strategies. The Southeast Polk Community School District has expressed interest in partnering as a key stakeholder. Deliverables will include a final written feasibility report and public presentation to guide City Council decision-making on any future capital investment”.
