Referral-approval by the Metropolitan Council to HUD and LAWCON is (~ needed by applicants for these funds. LAWCON FUNDS: We cannot, except in cases of condemnation , apply for HUD AND LAWCON funds if we own or are in process of owning the land for which we are applying for funds. Options are all right for application; contracts-for-deed are not (they constitute ownership). LAWCON funding is decided by the State Planning Agency. Next deadline for LAWCON application is April 15, 1970. If the funds for our application are programmed by the State Planning Agency, there is automatic approval from regional BOR(Bureau of Outdoor Recreation) in Ann Arbor, and national BOR headquarter in Washington. Funds can go up to 50% of acquisition. Approximately 45 days from State funding approval, we should get Washington approval and the money. All the money comes at one time. Letter from theeMayor to our State legislators and Congressmen bringing to their attention that this application is in process would be advisable at this time. Just advise however - do not try to have them apply "pressure". \r LAWCON has development funds for application for lands already owner. (Only 30% of all applications are funded however). REVISED PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES - C~nt~nued November 25,1969. . NATURAL RESOURCES FUNDS: The application for the Natural Resource Fund is automatically filed by the office of Urban Affairs, State ~ Planning Agency, if our LAWCON funding is approved. If LAWCON applicationis.J.not funded the Village can apply directly for Natural Resource Funding up to 100%. It is a veEY simple application and does not require professional help. (90% of all applications are funded only after LAWCON approval however). This is the program that funds up to 25% of the acquisition. . HUD: Under HUD, school park and open space funding is available. State Planning Agency does not have anything to do with HUD program. Village cannot apply for HUD funds for already-acquired land, except in cases of condemnation wheEe property has been awarded to the Village and price has already been established prior to application to HUD. Extreme Caution should be used however when there is pr~bability of HUD application. ( Park and Recreation should be studying priority for next funding now!
