As such, the City desires to develop public use and maintenance access to Chinook Wind, including a trail, trailhead parking, site furnishings, and signage. DISCUSSION The City authorized the submittal of a grant application to the RCO in May 2018 (RCO ALEA grant #18-2023). The RCO requires the applicant submit an Application Authorization Form in the form of a City Resolution. Note that this resolution also includes authorization to submit a Parks acquisition grant to RCO and the Community Development and Neighborhoods Committee is being briefed on that project. FISCAL IMPACT The RCO grant application total is $314,400 and requires a 50% City match, or $157,200. The funds that the City received from the Conservation Futures Tax program cannot be applied as match since it was expended on the Chinook Wind acquisition. City match will come from budgeted Surface Water funds or other grant sources, if possible.
