SUBJECT: Consider Submitting Outdoor Recreation Grant Application for
Development of Clearwater Creek Park
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) operates several financial
assistance programs. The purpose of the Outdoor Recreation Grant Program is to
increase and enhance outdoor recreation facilities. Eligible projects are for park
acquisition and /or development/re- development including picnic shelters, playgrounds,
athletic facilities, trails, boat accesses, fishing piers, swimming beaches, campgrounds,
• and others. This program is for cities, counties and townships. The highest priority
projects are for acquisition, development and re- development of outdoor recreation
facilities.
The Outdoor Recreation Grant Program is a very competitive program with hundreds of
grant applications submitted annually. Projects selected to receive a grant receive
assistance of up to 50 percent of total eligible costs. Therefore, if a grant application
was submitfed and subsequently awarded, the City of Lino Lakes would need to commit
50 percent of the total project cost. This could come from a combination of the General
Fund, Park Dedication fund, or other sources. The matching funds would need to be
available by next year. These costs must be incurred and paid for before reimbursement
can be made.
am considering applying for a matching grant in the amount of $125,000 for the
development of Clearwater Creek Park. If the City Council is comfortable with staff
submitting a grant application, a Public Hearing is required to obtain citizen input on the
proposed Outdoor Recreation Grant Application. I would recommend that the Public
Hearing be held at the Monday, February 12 City Council meeting. Also, a Resolution
would need to be approved authorizing staff to submit an application for the Outdoor
Recreation Grant.
The deadline for submittal is March 31, 2001. Funding announcements are expected in
the summer or fall.
