Parowan council caps city pickleball lighting help at $3,500
PAROWAN - Parowan City Council on Oct. 22 approved a pickleball lighting grant match of power and water connections for lights and a building on city property, according to the council meeting recording and agenda.
On the recording, speakers said that means the city’s power utility would supply those connections and related in-kind work at the city’s own pickleball facility — described as a city building on public property, not a private third-party site. Speakers said supporters had secured a grant and donations, including a $5,000 donation, and put the grant and donation together at about $36,000.
Council first approved the match, then reconsidered and amended it to set a $3,500 cap on in-kind power-company work. Speakers said that if total project cost rises more than that cap above the roughly $36,000 already funded, the item returns to council, and that the city was not required to match the grant dollar-for-dollar. On the amended motion, members answered aye and the chair said the motion carried.
