Russo, City Manager Cit— <br /> DATE: July 17,2003 VVV��` <br /> RE: FLORIDA RECREATION DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM <br /> GRANT APPLICATION FOR ACQUISITION OF PROPERTY IN GOLDEN <br /> SHORES <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> It is recommended that the City Commission approve a resolution authorizing the City Manager <br /> to apply for, receive and expend monies from a Florida Recreation Development Assistance <br /> Program("FRDAP") grant for the acquisition of park ptoperty in the Golden Shores area. <br /> REASONS <br /> Many months ago, residents of Golden Shores came to a Commission meeting and asked that we <br /> pursue the open land around the park. As such, the City became interested in expanding the <br /> Golden Shores Park so that we may be able to provide more amenities for our residents. <br /> Adjacent/surrounding property sites were viewed and considered as possibilities. <br /> The vacant lot at 215 191st Terrace is a property that met the needs of the City and would double <br /> the size of the existing park. As such,the Commission approved a contract for sale and purchase <br /> of the property. Now, a FRDAP grant is being sought to offset the cost of this purchase. A <br /> FRDAP grant would reimburse the City in an amount of up to 50% of the appraised cost of the <br /> property(which was$187,500.00), if awarded. <br /> ADDITIONAL INFORMATION <br /> All municipalities in the State are eligible to submit projects for FRDAP grant funding. Projects are <br /> ranked according to their scoring, and eligible projects are then presented to the State Legislature for <br /> funding. <br /> CJR/pw <br /> Fsdap-Golden Shorcs Pk Acquisition <br />
