MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Scott Richards
DATE: 25 April 1996
RE: Oak Park Heights - Outdoor Recreation Grant -
Brekke Park
FILE NO: 798.04 - 96.06
As per your request, I called Audrey Mularie, the Grants Manager for the Outdoor
Recreation Grant Program regarding park projects funding. Expenditures made in 1996
' for park projects would not be eligible under the grant program for 1997. As I explained
at the Council meeting, the application deadline is March 31, 1997 with projects selected
and funding available by July 1, 1997.
Projects can begin only after a grant has been approved and a contract is agreed to
between the City and DNR. Ms. Mularie indicated that if the City did fund a portion of the
overall plan in 1996 and indicate that in the application, points may be given to the City in
the grant selection process for their advance efforts to complete the plan.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to call. Our office will update the
Brekke Plan to incorporate the Park Commission and City Council comments for further
review and refinement.
