Recreation advisory board sets Feb. 15 public hearing for PARTF Part F grant

The Town of Selma Special Recreation Advisory Board voted Jan. 24 to hold a public hearing on Feb. 15, 2025, at 1 p.m. in the Jernigan Building to receive public input on a Parks and Recreation Trust Fund Part F grant application.

Staff told the board that the grant application requires a public hearing specifically set aside to receive comments. “There is a requirement for this upcoming grant application for the board to hold a public hearing for the Parks and Recreation Trust Fund,” a staff member said during the meeting.

Chair moved to call the special meeting for Feb. 15; a board member seconded the motion. The motion passed on a unanimous voice vote.

The hearing date was scheduled to allow public comment before the application deadline and to fit staff scheduling constraints. The board did not take any other actions on grant project details at the Jan. 24 meeting; the hearing will be the venue for public input.

The meeting notice will identify the specific grant project and provide instructions for submitting comments, the staff member said.
