Andy Nelson Environmental Coordinator 600 Town Center Parkway Lino Lakes, MN 55014 May 5, 2022 The Metropolitan Council is pleased to award the city of Lino lakes the amount of $24,000 as part of our 2022-2024 Water Efficiency Grant Program. The amount of matching funds required from your city, based on the grant award above, is $6,000. Your city is one of 37 in the Twin Cities Metropolitan Area that applied for and was accepted into this grant program. We are pleased to report that all available grant funds have been awarded and that all applicants will receive an award. The amount of funds requested totaled $1,401,920, while the amount of funds available is $1,000,000. Because funds requested exceed funds available, a set of ranking factors and an objective scoring system were used to distribute the available funds. Below are some critical points to remember: • New construction and new developments are not eligible. • Funds are for rebates or grants only; consulting and city staff time are ineligible. • Grant recipients must display the Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment logo and the Metropolitan Council logo on all documents which are intended for public use. The Clean Water, Land and Legacy Amendment is available here: http://www.legacy.leg.mn/lepacy- logo/legac -Napo-download To obtain electronic and print versions of the Metropolitan Council logo, please contact me at brian. davis(a)metc. state. mn. us.
