As part of the grant agreement,the city is <br /> required to conduct an archeological survey prior to the final reimbursement of the grant funds for the <br /> acquisition. The city will engage a professional archeologist and interested volunteers to complete the <br /> survey project. <br /> The project will be conducted to meet the standards of the Minnesota State Historical Preservation <br /> Office. Public participation will be encouraged using the very successful methods used by St Cloud State ' <br /> University in the past. Volunteers will be paired with professional staff and encouraged to participate in <br /> all aspects of the field work. Daily tours for be given for interested individuals. We expect that the <br /> survey will take about two weeks,preferably during the month of June. <br /> Staff is recommending that the funding for this requited archeological project be paid for with a grant <br /> through the Minnesota Historical Society. Part of the requirement in the grant process is to show <br /> community support and the initial step is for the Heritage Preservation Commission to approve this <br /> request for action. The Park and Recreation Commission approved the request at their January 9,2013 <br /> meeting and the item will go in front of the City Council for approval on January 22,2013. <br /> Action Motion by_ Second by_ Vote _ <br /> Follow Up <br /> rung B1 <br /> N:\Depafircnts\Community Development\Enviconmental\Heritage Preservat ion\HPC\2013\Action RequesteARFA ATURE <br /> accheaological survey of bailey pointdocx <br /> • <br />
