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 /> * 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 /> * 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 /> * 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 /> * 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 /> 7/14/00 <br />
