FROM:Michael Kerski, Planning/Development Director
TO:Mayor and Council Members
Subject:
Application to the Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources' (LCCMR) Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund (ENRTF).
Policy/Action Requested:
Approve Resolution R2020-033.
Recommendation:
Approve Resolution R2020-033.
Discussion:

The Planning and Development Department is seeking approval to apply to the LCCMR ENRTF under the "Small Projects" category which are projects costing $200,000 or less. The department is asking for funding to conduct an extensive archaeological study of the entire Memorial Park area, including south of Hwy 101 at the west end of the park. This study will not include areas already studied as part of the Memorial Bridge and Amazon stormwater diversion project. Funding would also include restoring parts of the park to its native prairie land/vegetation and removal of items, such as the volleyball court and playground. This funding aligns with the city's Master Parks Plan approved summer 2019.

Budget Impact:
There is no match requirement for the LCCMR ENRTF application, so the budget is not impacted.
