Mayor Gamec asked if the funding match for the $360,000 can include developer contribution. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon responded in the affirmative. <br /> <br />Councilmember Strommen asked if there is a priority between the items listed for the <br />Development Grant, in the case they were not to be fully funded. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon replied the large ticket item is the <br />amphitheater, which is $300,000. The trails and pedestrian bridges equal roughly $60,000. If <br />they had to shave anything off they would keep the $300,000. Even if they were to receive some <br />it will help the City make the amphitheater a reality in the future. The amphitheater is the more <br />important thing. <br /> <br />Councilmember-Strommen asked if there would be another project that could be chosen if the <br />funding is below the cost of the amphitheater. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon replied it needs to be specified what the <br />funding will be used for. <br /> <br />Councilmember Strommen indicated if three projects are listed and the award only covers the <br />two smaller items, they should be able to say they will do the smaller items. She inquired about <br />the planned activities for the Opportunity Grant. <br /> <br />Assistant Community Development Director Trudgeon replied staff is still in the process of <br />xvorking on this. [t will likely be based off of the Central Rural Reserve. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Cook, seconded by Councilmember Pearson, to adopt Resolution <br />#04-05-139 authorizing staff to apply for a LCDA Opportunity Grant, and to adopt Resolution <br />#04-05-140 authorizing staff to apply for a LCDA Development Grant. <br /> <br />Motion carried.

They are <br />trying to curb activity of adults smoking in front of the children, which is a bad leadership role. <br />Mayor Gamec informed the public that 33 or 34 cities have adopted this policy.
