<br />ST. PAUL BOARD OF WATER COMMISSIONERS LAND ACQUISITION <br /> <br />CAPITAL BONDING BILL REQUEST <br /> <br />In addition to capital bonding request funds for CSAH 14 Reconstruction, the City of <br />Centerville should request funds for the acquisition of the St. Paul Board of Water <br />Commissioners property on Lamotte Drive. In discussions with Department of Natural <br />Resource's staff, the request of capital bonding money for this activity could increase <br />the funds available and improve the fundability of the city's grant requests. The <br />estimated cost of this request is $350,000. <br /> <br />OUTDOOR RECREATION GRANT REQUEST <br /> <br />Last year the City of Centerville's outdoor recreation grant request ranked very high but <br />suffered the consequence of budget cuts. This year opportunity exists to further <br />enhance the request and receive an award in one to two program areas. The traditional <br />outdoor recreation grant category could provide 50% funding ($175,000 of the unpaid <br />balance of $350,000) or the remediation grant category could provide up to 100% <br />funding ($350,000 of the unpaid balance of $350,000). Because our project could be <br />competitive in both categories, I would suggest that the city solicits funds in each <br />category and let the state program managers decide which venue to use for funding our <br />project. To proceed with these applications, the city will need to: <br /> <br />1. update the land appraisal completed by Dwight Dahlem <br />2. reflect the appropriate language in the purchase agreement with the St. Paul <br />Board of Water Commissioners <br />3. hold a public hearing on the applications <br />4. submit the applications for consideration by March 1, 2006. <br />
