Joseph Figa, Chief of Design and Development, explained that in April of 1981,
the Parks and Recreation Commission authorized the submission of three pre -
applications to the Department of Natural Resources for future grants enabled
by the 1982 Land and Water Funds. The pre -applications are required, as well
as the public hearing, for the submission and filing of a final grant application.
Due to the economic climate, funds were not available in 1982; therefore, no
final grant applications were filed.
Mr. Figa further explained that staff recently received notification from the
DNR of the availability of potential funds for 1984. They requested a re-
submission of 1981 projects or new projects for review and possible future
funding. The deadline for these pre-aps is April 15, 1983.
Mr. Figa reviewed the following applications for submittal:
