• AGENDA ITEM 7A
STAFF ORIGINATOR: Marty Asleson
DATE: January 16, 2001
TOPIC: Metro Greenways Planning Grant Application FY 2001
BACKGROUND: A previous Metro Greenways Planning Grant was approved
for 3/4 of the City of Lino Lakes in 2000. This grant was written through the
Anoka County Soil Conservation District. The 2000 Grant was to take our
existing inventory and classify according to the Minnesota Land Classification
System. This is a new land classification system that standardizes land
classification for cities, counties, and state government agencies. The
Minnesota Land Classification System also allows an inventory to be taken to
higher levels of definition, such as percentage of impervious soils, and woodland
quality. The Inventory will be delivered in GIS.
The Wild Land Urban Interface project with the Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources needs the SE portion of the City classified. This portion was excluded from
the original project. The purpose of this proposal is to allow the Anoka County Soil
Conservation District to underwrite a FY 2001 grant application for this inventory project.
This idea was previously presented to the City Council. At that time it was unsure
weather there would be any cost -share dollars involved.
By working with the Soil Conservation District, the City is able to reduce the cost of this
resource planning from $6,000 cost share to $2,600 cash and $1,400 in -kind in FY2002
budget.
OPTIONS: 1. Approve the attached Metro Greenways Planning Grant
Application FY2001 from Anoka Soil Conservation District and direct staff to write
a letter of support for this project. This letter would include reference to the
City's commitment to $2,600 cash and $1,400 in -kind to be budgeted in FY2002.
2. Do not approve the Grant.
RECOMMENDATION: We are strongly encouraged to apply for these planning
grant dollars from Metro Greenways. The most cost effective means to
implement this grant would be to tap into Anoka County Resources for help. For
these reasons I recommend Option 1.
