The original grant was not processed properly in 1977 which made for a two year delay in receiving the final acquisition's approval which was finally granted to the City on June 25, 1979. 4. The acquisition grant has been finalized and approved in the amount of $136,800.00 which is broken down as follows: $34,200.00 - City of Mounds View share, $34,200.00 - State Funds and $68,400.00 - Federal share, The City share has been set aside through 1978 revenue sharing funds. 5.
