A RESOLUTION URGING THE EXPANSION OF THE FEDERAL LAND AND WATER
CONSERVATION FUND PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund Program LAWCON
has provided greatly needed grant assistance for local government and state outdoor

provided for over 1,100 projects in every county and hundreds of cities and townships
throughout the State.
WHEREAS, the program supported by revenues from offshore oil leases and sale
of surplus federal property does not cost additional tax dollars and has left an important
legacy for future generations.

drastically reduced while the needs have remained as great as ever.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Chanhassen City Council urges
the increase in the allocation of LAWCON funds for local government and state park
projects to help provide adequate outdoor recreation opportunities, acquire and protect
open space areas and improve the quality of life for present and furore generations.
