Final requests and the Governor’s capital <br />budget recommendations are submitted to the legislature in January of the following year. <br />Recent City Council discussions regarding park development have identified the lack of <br />inclusive playground amenities within the park system. The Council has prioritized <br />development of a park serving the needs of all children within the community regardless of <br />ability/disability. The project budget is an estimated $1,500,000. Up to 50% of the project cost <br />is eligible for consideration. <br />The application requires a resolution of support from the City. The preliminary request deadline <br />is June 16, 2023. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff is recommending adoption of Resolution No. 23-55, Approving Capital Budget Request for <br />the Lino Lakes Inclusive Playground. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1.
