Monday's vote would allow city staff to apply for a planning grant of $4,000 to prepare engineering construction drawings, Longview Farm Park Ad-Hoc Committee Chair Skp Mange stated in an email to Patch. He said an ordinance would later need to be approved to then contract an engineer to prepare the plans. Mange said the engineering costs are estimated at approximately $20,000.
According to Mange, another grant application would then be submitted for the construction costs.

"That grant covers 100% of the construction costs and 50% of any landscaping that is included," Mange stated. "When the project is completed the total of the two grants would be about 80% of the total costs, resulting in a cost to the city of around $20,000."
