At the May 1st meeting of the Signal Peak Foundation Board the board approved 9 applications for grants.
Musselshell County Ambulance was awarded $34,073. for a Medical grade oxygen compressor and a OXY-1M single position fill station. This is necessary due to regulatory changes. Mike’s Service is no longer allowed to stock medical oxygen and cylinders would have to be brought from Billings. The need to have oxygen readily available is a necessity for the ambulances.
Roundup Community Partners was awarded $21,250. for completion of the Welcome Plaza Project. This will cover the cost of the landscaping.
A grant was given to the Roundup Youth Baseball in the amount of $2,212. for a diamond digger field groomer, a chalker, and 2 batter box templates. A request was made for a shed for storage, but the board decided the Parks committee of the city should meet with the baseball supporters and come up with a plan for one building to replace the small ones that are there.
Melstone Community Pool was awarded $20,914. for a concrete slab, a shade structure and a lifeguard chair. When the slab is being poured the concrete edges of the pool will be repaired also. The pool operates on donations and fund raising.
