The Centerville Lion's Club will be installing the outfield fences at LaMotte Park tomorrow <br />morning. We are looking for additional volunteers. We will be starting at 9:00. We will be <br />grilling out free food for all volunteers!! <br /> <br />. Several grant opportunities have surfaced in the last week. I received a request for <br />proposals from the Minnesota Amateur Sports Commission. They have approximately $2.5 <br />million available for park improvement projects. This is a new program for them. They <br />want to place a special emphasis on projects that propose new soccer fields. This item will <br />be on the next Park and Recreation agenda. I have also received a request for proposals <br />from the Met Council. They are looking for four communities that would contain opportunity <br />sites for smart growth projects. The Met Council will be hiring the firm Calthorpe and <br />Associates to work with the four selected communities to help develop models for smart <br />growth. I am thinking about a joint application with Lino Lakes that would look at the <br />undeveloped commercial property at the northwest quadrant of 135E. We have also <br />received an economic development grant application from Wal-Mart and State Farm <br />Insurance (thanks to Lori Dorn). I believe it is important to pursue all available grant <br />opportunities that will allow us to leverage dollars that we plan to spend on our many <br />planned projects. <br /> <br />. There is a grand opening planned for the Rice Creek Regional Park for Saturday, July <br />22nd. They will be offering different activities and food. Contact City Hall for more <br />information. <br /> <br />. Hunter's Crossing received final plat approval this week. Grading is underway. Mr. <br />Carlson is allowing us to ignite the fireworks from his property. <br /> <br />. I received a surprising call earlier this morning. The caller lives adjacent to the newly <br />constructed haul road that was constructed from Centerville Road to the lift station on the <br />north side of LaMotte Park. The resident estimates that 35-40 people a night are walking <br /> <br />7/14/00 <br />
