RECOMMENDATION
PRPL seeks Council consent to accept and utilize $59,059.00 in FWP Trail Grant money for wayfinding signage to be installed on 10.5 miles of trails. $47,247.00 is from FWP and $11,812.00 is matching funds from Billings Trailnet.
BACKGROUND (Consistency with Adopted Plans and Policies, if applicable)
Billings Trailnet applied for and was awarded the grant funding on behalf of PRPL in June 2025. The funds will pay for and install 92 wayfinding signs on 10.5 miles of trails throughout Billings. The signage will promote trail use and safety. Signs will be developed, and installation locations will be determined with the help of the Planning Department to insure accuracy for this project.

FISCAL EFFECTS
There is no immediate expense for the City of Billings or PRPL. PRPL does expect a very minimal cost increase over time for the sign maintenance as they begin to age to insure serviceability. PRPL does not expect to hire any FTEs.
