Resolution No. 2024-116
Requesting Community Development Block Grant Funds for Oak Hill Park and Jubilee
Park Reconstruction and Improvements
Whereas, the City of Fridley’s (City) approved Park System Improvement Plan identifies Oak Hill
Park and Jubilee Park as priority projects for implementation; and
Whereas, staff has developed conceptual designs for the redevelopment of both parks; and
Whereas, in 2024, staff met with residents to gather input on park improvements and playground
designs in Oak Hill Park and Jubilee Park and accepted additional feedback from online surveys
to inform final designs of each park; and
Whereas, the City has identified these parks as being complimentary to one another due to their
proximity and service area: and
Whereas, both parks directly serve a low-moderate income community; and
Whereas, the City believes that the project needs can be met through the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) program that is administered by Anoka County.
Now, therefore, be it resolved, that the City Council of the City of Fridley herby:
1. Supports and approves the implementation of park redevelopment outlined in the Park
System Improvement Plan for Oak Hill Park and Jubilee Park, and
2. Requests $500,000 of Community Development Block Grant funds for the project; and
3. Authorizes City Staff to execute all documents necessary to secure said CDBG funds.

Passed and adopted by the City Council of the City of Fridley this 9 day of September, 2024
