RECEIPT OF DONATIONS & RECOGNITIONS
EAGLE SCOUT TRAIL PROJECTS
01 INFO
QO ACTION
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Receive donations and recommend acceptance of the donations of Michael Montgomery and
Connor Braman by the City Council.
ITEM EXPLANATION:
As part of the Citywide Trail Volunteer Program, projects are often paired up with local Boy
Scouts who are attempting to obtain the rank of Eagle Scout. Over the past several months, two
Eagle Scouts have completed projects related to improving the City's trail network. These
projects were completed by Michael Montgomery, Troop 732, and Connor Braman, Troop 707.
In addition to the recommendation that the Commission accept the above donations, staff would
also like to give special recognition to these Eagle Scouts. A brief presentation showcasing
each trail project will be provided by staff. A special Certificate of Appreciation, signed by the
Mayor, will also be presented to each of the Eagle Scouts at the Commission meeting, in
recognition of each Eagle Scout's lasting contributions to the City's trail system.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If the City were to purchase materials and labor to construct the above trail improvements, it is
estimated that approximately $5,000 would have been expended from the Trails Maintenance
and Operations budget. This is a significant cost savings to the City for these trail
improvements.
Letters of appreciation were sent to each of the scouts and to their respective troops for their
generous fund raising and volunteer efforts for each of the trail improvement projects.
