Goiffon Road Vacation / Trail Access Committee Member LeBlanc talked to Father Fitzgerald, after getting approval from Council Member Capra, to discuss a trail access from County Road 14 to Laurie LaMotte Memorial Park when Goiffon Road is vacated. Father Fitzgerald said that St. Genevieve's Church has no immediate plans for renovating the current church building and are open to ideas concerning a trail. There is a possibility a trail could go along the lake or Father Fitzgerald did not see a problem with the trail going west of the church as long as it did not go through the middle of the property. 7. 2003 Grants Chairperson DeVine asked that this item be added to the agenda as any grants to be applied for are typically due in March. In the past, grants have typically been done by the City Administrator. Committee Member Peil asked what grants should the committee potentially apply for and are there any that we have a better chance of receiving? Chairperson DeVine listed a variety of grants stating they are all different and have specific requirements. She suggested asking City Administrator Moore-Sykes what type of grants she has had the most experience in writing, what would be most favorable and what does she have time for.
