Overview: The New Ulm Park & Recreation Commission, in its June 8 meeting, addressed several topics, notably deciding to recommend the city council decline a $100,000 grant from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) after rejecting bids for a project that had exceeded financial expectations. This decision was made in light of the project’s anticipated cost of approximately $235,000, which was surpassed by the bids received. The funding for this project was expected to be sourced from the Sou Valley Gun Club’s fundraising and the DNR’s matching grant.
