RE: FY1998 Application - Outdoor Recreation Grant Program
Dear Ms. Roberts:
As you requested, 1 have enclosed a list of the projects that were selected for funding this year.
Competition for the limited state funding was intense. A total of 87 applications were received
and we were only able to fund 20 applications. Of the 20 applications funded, some applicants
were offer only partial awards.
The review of the application involved a careful analysis of each application and an on -site visit
of the proposed project. An area of concern regarding the City's application was the proposed
park design. The proposed development seem very crowded. In fact, when at the site, it appeared
it would be difficult to fit the proposed trail in some areas of the site where it was identified on
the map. The map did not have a bar scale and it was unclear if the map had been reduced.
Overall, the map did not appear to match the property and area available for the proposed trail
development, especially in the playground area.
If you have any additional questions or would like further information, please feel free to contact
me at 612/296 -4705.
Sincerely,
i
Audrey Mularie, Grants Manager
