5A. ME 40RANDUM Date: February 26, 1996 From: Marty Asleson To: Lino Lakes Park and Recreation Board Subject: Grants There are presently two grants that have been applied for, and one preapplication that is due in April 15 . The first grant, another preapplication is the State Outdoor Recreation Grant. Last year we submitted this grant application for our A-3 Athletic Complex. I re-submitted the same preapplication for this proposal . The grant itself will be modified in response to discussions with the Natural Resources Grant Manager for this area. No money has been appropriated yet for this grant program. We should know more about this after the preapplications are received. The second proposal submitted was a LCMR, (Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources) grant proposal . This proposals a cooperative proposal for a greenway from the state trail in Hugo, following Clearwater Creek to the south through Hugo, Lino Lakes and Centerville, and into the Rice Creek Chain of Lakes regional Park. This would make a connection into the Rice Creek Regional Trail (a Metropolitan Council Trail Corridor) . This grant proposal has strong possibilities . The third grant is for a trail connection on the west side of Lake Drive and Elm Street as part of the new school need. Safety and a crossing point along Lake Drive to the school was addressed at the last Park Board meeting. We would like to work with the School District on cost matching their dollars for these trail segments . Please find the grant submittal for these programs . I will bring some illustrative maps to the Park Board meeting.
