Ed Fields <br />County Commissioner <br />Anoka County Court House <br />Anoka, Minnesota 55303 <br /> <br />RE: Application for federal grant for multi purpose indoor and outdoor <br /> recreation facility <br /> <br />Dear Ed: <br /> <br />In view of the fact that the' City of Ramsey has to use the Anoka County <br />as the vehicle to get a federal grant from the Economic Development Ad.. <br />ministration for multi purposes indoor and .outdoor recreation facilit~ <br />the City Council has adopted the' enclosed resolution for the County <br />Commission to take action on at their next meeting, <br /> <br />It should be noted by the County Board that it is very unlikely that the' <br />City of Ramsey could not get such a grant through the' federal grant sys~ <br />tem because our City would not be'able to maximize the multi 'community <br />use that the County is able to maximize, which is a must'.for this type of <br />a grant. <br /> <br />Inasmuch as Economic Development Administration grants are a 100% funded~ <br />the County will not have any money involved other than grant preparation <br />costs which is also now refundable if you qualify for ~he grant. Howeyer~ <br />the City of Ramsey has allocated $4,000 to assist the' County in the grant <br />application costs. <br /> <br />In our meeting with Congressman Oberstar, he informed us that it was very <br />important that this grant application reached the Economic Development <br />Administration at the earliest possible date. <br /> <br />Thank you for your fine cooperation on this matter. The City of Ra~ey <br />is looking forward to working with the Anoka Comdty Commission in securi, ng <br />the grant on the above mentioned recreation facility, <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />ClTfOFIAllgEY <br /> <br />Thomas Ga.~ec <br />Mayor <br /> <br />TG: sb <br /> <br /> <br />
