of the park site. This grant, if awarded, would provide up to $1,000,000 for the construction of
Discovery River Park.

first of three cycles of grant applications. A total of $40,500,000 will be awarded during this
cycle. The grant application must be post -marked and delivered by October 18, 2005.

provided by the City. Therefore, the combined authorization for the grant will be $1,150,000.
Authorization of matching funds in the amount of $150,000 from the General Fund has been
included in the recommended action.
