AGENDA ITEM <br />4C <br />STAFF ORIGINATOR: Marty Asieson <br />DATE: March 3, 1999 <br />TOPIC: Clearwater Creek Greenway Grant Approval <br />BACKGROUND: The City of Lino Lakes has sought funding for the Clearwater <br />Creek Greenway in two previous grant submittals to the Minnesota Department <br />of Natural Resources under the Legislative Committee on Minnesota Resources <br />( LCMR ). The last two proposals were denied. The attached resolution <br />supports submittal a grant to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources <br />under a new program called Metro Greenways Grant Program. <br />The last two proposals to the DNR under the LCMR Grant program were <br />submitted as a joint document with the City of Hugo. The Greenways Grant we <br />wish to submit is still being submitted as a cooperative effort with the City of <br />Hugo, only with separate grant applications. The Rice Creek Watershed District <br />will act as a supporting agency for both parties. <br />The last grant submitted was to match $250,000 of the City of Lino Lakes <br />commitment to our portion of the project. This money would be used for the <br />acquisition of land and construction of the Greenway. <br />OPTIONS: <br />1. Approve the Metro Greenways Grant. <br />2. Disapprove this grant request <br />BlgaMMOMEM Option 1. <br />
