MEMORANDUM DATE: TO:. FROM: RE: March 28, 1994 Persons Interested in Ramsey's Park and Outdoor Recreation Development Mark Boos, Parks/Utilities Supervisor Lawful Gambling Improvement Program Enclosed is the City of RamseY's Park and Recreation Lawful Gambling Fund Improvement Program. Over'the last year, the Park and Recreation Commission and City Staff, with the support of City Council, conceptualized and developed the program to provide park development opportunities outside of the normally large scale Capital Improvements Program and to address special park development requests. The City expects to match about $3,000 in cash to an equal amount or more of labor or cash from sources outside of the regular process. The only expenditures from this fund so far were the purchase of spring riders for a neighborhood park. The match in this case was trash pick-up within that park area by adjoining residents. The Commission expects to fund more than one project each year, beginning in 1995. Application can be made any time prior to January 13, I995. At first glance, the application may seem formidable in the enormity of the detail it requests; however, the majority of information contained is necessary to ensure that the projects proposed are those with a likelihood of being funded. The application encourages interested persons to contact an individual listed in the application early to discuss their idea. Additional copies of the application will be made available upon contacting City Hall at 427-1410. The City of Ramsey and its residents appreciate your interest in this opportunity.
