Recreation and Park Committee for 11/9/2026

The City of Troy Recreation and Park Committee met on November 9, 2026, and unanimously recommended moving forward with three items. First, it recommended authorizing the Director of Public Services and Safety to advertise for bids and contract for a wetland at the Troy Mountain Bike Area in Duke Park, with costs capped at $395,235. The project is funded by a reimbursement grant from H2Ohio, with no local match or city contribution. Design and bid documents are complete; Sustainable Streams completed the design, and the work would be performed by a contractor selected through bidding. The committee did not recommend emergency action on this item.

The committee also unanimously recommended submitting an off-cycle grant application for up to $250,000 toward replacement of Community Park’s playground equipment, which dates to 2002. The proposed accessible, nature-themed playground would include new play features and connecting walkways; the city had added funds to its capital improvement process, but the transcript does not specify the total project cost. Finally, the committee unanimously recommended emergency approval to reallocate existing Miami Shores Golf Course irrigation-project funds. The irrigation-system authorization was $2.5 million and came in under budget, while the pump station and new well exceeded their allocation by approximately $375,000; no additional funds were requested. The relevant prices were from publicly opened sealed bids, subject to possible change orders.
