MINNESOTA 55101 [~~ (612) 296~5005 ?? November 28, 1983 Lloyd G. Schnelle City Administrator/Clerk 15153 Nowthen Bl vd NW Ramsey,, I4N 55303 kE: FY 84 LA¥1CO~I/LCH~ Application ,P.,amsey Central Park City of Ramsey, Anoka County i~ear 14r. Schnelle: The initial review of applications for 1984 State Legislative Commission on Hinnesota Resources (LCifiR) grants-in-aid and Land and Water Conservation Fund (LAWCON) has been completed. This revie~q was made in accordance with state and administrative rules and federal law. Representatives from this office, the Depart~aent of Natural Resources, and the regional development commission serving your area participated in the review. Factors taken into consideration in the review and subsequent ranking included the outstanding natural and scientific values of the project, its ability to provide multipurpose recreational oppor- tunities, and the scarcity of familar facilities within the general vicinity. Competition for the limited funds was very intense. Of the 247 applications (valued at nearly $19 million) received this year, only 42 can be recommended for $2.2 million in available funds. Unfortunately, your application did not rank high enough to be recommended for further grant consideration this year. As you may know, funds for recreation projects are derived from appropriations made by the UzS. Congress through the LAWCON program, and the State Legislature through the LuHR. Unfortunately, there are not enough dollars available to fund all a~plications. A list of those projects recommended for F¥1984 financial assistance is available upon request.
