Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This resolution approves amendment one to an in-kind grant from the Friends of Shelby Park & Bottoms to the Metropolitan Board of Parks and Recreation, previously approved by Resolution No. RS2020-344. The grant provides for construction of a trail segment around Lake Sevier in Shelby Park.
The proposed amendment would increase the value of the in-kind grant from $50,000 to $170,000 with no cash match required. The project cost has increased in order to ensure the path is ADA compliant. No funding will be directed to Metro. Friends of Shelby Park & Bottoms will pay for the project directly and work with Metro Parks staff on the details of plans, materials, and installation.
This grant was approved by the Metropolitan Board of Parks and Recreation at its March 3, 2026, meeting.
