The City of Lino Lakes <br />submitted an application on February 24, 1999 to provide trail connections between <br />existing residential areas to the 2,500 acre Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park <br />Reserve. <br />On August 3, 1999 the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources informed the City <br />• of Lino Lakes that the Grant Application was approved by the Legislative Commission of <br />Minnesota Resources (LCMR) on August 3, 1999. The grant award was in the amount <br />of $30,000. <br />In order to continue with the steps necessary to receive the grant award, the City <br />Council must approve a resolution accepting the grant in the amount of the award as <br />partial funding for the trails project. The matching requirement must also be recognized. <br />Finally, the fiscal agent for the grant award must be designated. <br />Resolution 00 -126 acknowledges the City Council's acceptance of the $30,000 grant, <br />recognizes the matching requirement, and designates myself as the fiscal agent. <br />OPTIONS: <br />1.
