Hanson <br />Attached to this memo is a grant application prepared by Loucks & Associates (Bill Sander's <br />new firth). We are proposing that the City apply for $15,000 of funding from the Arts and <br />Cultural Heritage Fund. Staff felt $15,000 was the maximum we could apply for while still <br />being competitive in the application process given the limited amount of funds they have to <br />award. <br />In reviewing this application, you will notice a substantial increase in the project's proposed <br />budget from our previous estimate of $75,000 to $139,523.75. 'Phis increase was surprising <br />given our past budget discussions at the Committee level. However, the possibility of phasing <br />some of the improvements could keep the number more workable. Additional fund raising is <br />also critical. <br />Staff recommends the Council authorize this application as presented. <br />1 <br />
