A majority of the Castle Dale City Council voted Jan. 8 to approve submitting a Community Impact Board (CIB) application to help build an All Abilities Park in the city.
The item followed a public hearing during which a parent, identifying herself as Kyanne, described how existing parks with steps and inaccessible features prevent her child and other children with disabilities from playing independently. Supporters at the hearing said locating the park by the aquatic center would serve both residents and visitors.
City staff told the council the project already has $269,480 in cash donations and a property donation valued at $70,000. Staff estimated the CIB request would be about $300,000 but said the final amount will depend on grant awards and additional fundraising before the February CIB application deadline.
Speaker 4 moved to submit the CIB application and Speaker 1 seconded. The council conducted a roll-call vote and recorded affirmative responses to move forward with the application.
The council asked staff to pursue other grant opportunities and confirmed letters of partnership from local organizations had been received. Next steps include finalizing the application and reporting back on grant outcomes expected in February.
