What: how the East District spends its neighborhood grant funds and the new rule that every proposal comes to a district meeting first.
Where it stands: Grant ideas discussed; priority vote favored ADA ramps; mural supplement approved.
Next: A board member files applications; remaining funds reviewed at later meetings.
Details
Per the captions, the district had already approved a swing bench at Slate Canyon (about 7,500 dollars) and one culvert mural funded by an art grant (about 8,000 dollars, with the district voting to supplement it). Other ideas were wayfinding signs on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail, fire-pit warning signs and ADA sidewalk ramps (about 6,000 dollars each). In a show-of-hands priority vote ADA ramps led (about 10 to 2 over signs) and the supplement for the mural passed. Funds can be used for up to four years, and a board member now files each application. Counts are from auto-captions and approximate.
