CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO
THRU: Don Marr, Chief of Staff
Connie Edmonston, Parks and Recreation Director
FROM: Byron Humphry, Parks Maintenance Superintendent
DATE: February 13, 2015
SUBJECT: 2015 Recreational Trails Grant Application
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff requests approval of a resolution expressing the willingness to utilize federal -aid
recreational funds and to allow the Parks and Recreation Department to submit an application
for consideration of an 80/20 matching grant through the Arkansas Recreational Trails Program
for an award of up to $75,000 to be used for the construction of three sections of boardwalk on
the nature trail at Lake Fayetteville.
BACKGROUND:
The Recreational Trails Grant is administered through the Arkansas Highway and
Transportation Department and has been a substantial source of grant funding for our trail
program over the years. For the 2015 recreational trail grant application, staff has selected to
request a grant to construct three sections of boardwalk on the Lake Fayetteville nature trail that
total approximately 800 feet. On September 2, 2014, the City Council approved a revised lease
agreement with BGSO that required the relocation of approximately 750 feet of nature trail. The
relocation of this nature trail will require two sections of boardwalk that total approximately 480
feet. In addition to these two sections, there is also a section of existing nature trail located to
the west that needs to be located onto approximately 320 feet of boardwalk to alleviate erosion
and muddy conditions.
DISCUSSION:
The sections of trail that need to be relocated due to the adjustment of the BGSO lease
boundary were intended to be constructed using Eagle Scout volunteers and donated materials
similar to the boardwalk that was recently constructed on the north side of Lake Fayetteville.
However, with the possibility of obtaining grant funding, better materials can be purchased that
will last longer, require less maintenance, and be easier to install. The 20 percent match from
the City would be primarily composed of in-kind services from staff and volunteer labor to install
the materials. If the grant is not awarded to the City, the construction of the boardwalk will occur
as originally planned with Eagle Scout and volunteer projects.

BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
If the grant is approved for the full amount requested, the City will be responsible for 20% of the
total project cost, or $15,000. The $15,000 of the City's portion of this project will be from in-
kind services from volunteer and staff labor and budgeted operational funds. If the grant is
partially funded, the boardwalk sections required by the nature trail relocation due to the BGSO
lease boundary adjustment will be given priority.

STAFF MEMO
SUBJECT: Right of way (ROW) certification form for Lake Fayetteville Boardwalk
Project.
RECOMMENDATION:
Parks and Recreation requests Mayor Jordan to sign the ROW certification form to submit to the
Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department as part of the required documentation
for the grant received through the Arkansas Recreational Trails Program to construct a
boardwalk at Lake Fayetteville.
BACKGROUND:
On March 3, 2015, City Council approved Resolution 55-15 to express the willingness to apply
for a federal grant through the Recreational Trails Program to build a boardwalk at Lake
Fayetteville. The grant is an 80/20 match with the City responsible for 20% of the project total.
The requested funds were $60,000 with a project total of $75,000.
On December 21, 2015, Parks and Recreation received notification that the City had been
awarded grant funding in the amount of $56,000, for a project total of $70,000. The City's
required match is $14,000 which can be composed in part or whole of in -kind services.
On May 5, 2016, an Agreement of Understanding was entered into between the City and the
Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department and initial construction plans have
been sent to AHTD for review.
DISCUSSION:
As part of the grant process, AHTD requires a ROW certification form indicating the City
possessed all needed ROW before the project and that no additional ROW is required. The
Lake Fayetteville Boardwalk Project is on the interior of the park and does not affect any ROW.
Additionally, there are no displacees on this project, no structures in the ROW, no conflicting
utilities, and no railroads involved on this project.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
There is no budget or staff impact for this requested signature.
