MEMORANDUM <br />To:St. Anthony Village City Council <br />From:Jeremy Gumke, Public Works Director <br />Date:August 8, 2023 City Council Meeting <br />Request:Approve Resolution 23-041 to Execute Be Active! Be Green! Bench Award Agreement <br />BACKGROUND <br />As part of the City’s continuous efforts to enhance amenities throughout our park system, staff applied for a Be <br />Active! Be Green! Bench grant through Ramsey County. <br />Active Living Ramsey Communities works to place benches on trails and pedestrian corridors throughout <br />Ramsey County to create a more walkable environment for people of all ages and abilities. <br />The goal of the Be Active! Be Green! Bench Initiative is to have benches placed often enough that when people <br />sit on one bench, they're able to see the next one — with the thought that seniors, people with disabilities, or <br />small children can more easily make it to the next bench. <br />St. Anthony was awarded 5 benches that will be placed in Emerald Park and along Silver Lane, about equidistant <br />between Emerald Park and the Silver Oak park Trail connection on the New Brighton side of Silver Lane. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends approval of the resolution to authorize staff to execute the agreement. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />Grant Agreement <br />Resolution 23-041
