Councilmernber Bauman questioned if the City is required to use the grant funds for the Hansen Park project. Director Wyffels reported the City could consider an equally funded route that would accomodate the same number of students, or the City could keep the grant open, or reject a portion of the grant, or if the other 2 projects were adequately fwlded, an extraordirta y component could be added. The total estimated cost of upgrading the existing path was reported as approximately $111,000.
