PRIOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION:

During the December 10, 2024 Council Meeting, Council approved the acceptance of a $20,000 Grant Award under the GVEC Power Up Program. 

BACKGROUND:

The City, through its Grant Writer and in coordination with the Public Works department, submitted a grant application in August 2024 under the GVEC Power Up Grant Program.  The City's project proposal is titled "Cibolo's Partnered Trailways Project" and is based on recommendations from City Council for amenities on the HEB trail and pond.  The Project will provide a significant impact to the site, by powering up the pond for an aeration fountain system and park benches with the ability to power electrical devices, preserving the health of the fishing pond and improving our residents overall park experience. 

STAFF RECOMMENDATION:

City staff recommends approval of the underground and overhead installation of power provided by GVEC to get power to the H-E-B pond for the benches and the aerator. 

FINANCIAL IMPACT:

The underground and overhead electrical installation services provided by GVEC will be funded through the Parks funds allocated in the FY24–25 Capital Improvement Program (CIP) in the amount of FIFTY ONE THOUSAND, ONE HUNDRED THIRTY FIVE DOLLARS AND EIGHTY ONE CENTS ($51,135.81).
