A RESOLUTION URGING THE STATE OF MINNESOTA TO EXPAND THE
FUNDING FOR THE STATE OUTDOOR RECREATION GRANT PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the state has invested over $50 million in local outdoor recreation
projects, which has been matched by over $57 million in local government funds.
WHEREAS, the State program has been significant incentive to local governments
to undertake needed park acquisition and development projects.
WHEREAS, the State program has helped accelerate renovation and replacement
of facilities that did not meet the handicapped accessible standards.
WHEREAS, parks play an important role in many communities' economic
development efforts by improving the desirability of the community as a place to live and
work.
WHEREAS, the demand for State assistance through this program remains strong
and that in 1991 only $1 million in State funds was available to help meet over $4 million
in grant requests.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Chanhassen, Minnesota, urges the State to continue and expand funding for the State's
Outdoor Recreation Program to help local governments throughout Minnesota provide
adequate outdoor recreation opportunities, acquire and protect open space areas, and
improve the quality of life for present and future generations.
