Your project met the criteria for the use of SHIP funds to <br />aid in increasing opportunities for non -motorized transportation and/or increasing access to <br />community recreation facilities. The SHIP program is an integral part of Minnesota's nation - <br />leading 2008 health reform law which strives to reduce overall health care costs; help <br />Minnesotans lead longer, healthier lives by preventing the chronic disease risk factors of tobacco <br />use and exposure and the resulting economic burdens; poor nutrition; and physical inactivity. <br />A funding process for all Washington County projects has been established in collaboration with <br />the Minnesota Institute of Public Health who will act as the fiscal agent. SHIP staff has set up a <br />conference call opportunity as the next step in learning about the process and timelines. <br />The partner project phone conference will be on Thursday, January 6th at 10:00 AM. <br />Please call 877-985-3369, when prompted enter participant code: 2760644. <br />To reserve your phone line for the call, please RSVP to Ann Pung-Terwedo, Senior Planner at <br />Ann. Pung-TerwedoCt co.washinf;ton.mn.us . <br />If you have a conflict on this date, please contact Ann to set up a separate time to meet regarding <br />project funding. <br />Again, congratulations and we look forward to successful SHIP Community Partner Projects. <br />Sincerely, <br />Lowell R. Johnson <br />Director <br />
