MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />Mayor and City Council <br /> <br />FROM: <br />DATE: <br /> <br />Stephen Rohlf, Building and Environmental Administrator <br />April 26, 2004 ~Z_ <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Certified Local Government Grant for Additional <br />Archaeological Work <br /> <br />The city's Heritage Preservation Commission (HPC) applied for and has been granted a <br />$10,000 Certified Local Government Grant to conduct further archaeological investigation. <br />A letter from the Minnesota Historical Society announcing the award of this grant is <br />attached to this memo. <br /> <br />The Archaeological survey work described in the grant application is a follow up to the <br />archaeological modeling and literature search started by Dr. Rothaus of Saint Cloud State <br />University last year. That work will be finished shortly. The new project will allow actual <br />test digging as a precursor to a full archaeological dig in Elk River hopefully some dme in the <br />future. Staff is recommending that the city retain its relationship with Dr. Rothaus for this <br />next round of archaeological work. <br /> <br />The match for the $10,000 grant included $5,000 that the City Council budgeted for the <br />HPC and in-kind services such as city staff rime and volunteer rime by the HPC. On behalf <br />of the HPC, I would like to thank the Elk River City Council for their support for this <br />important effort. <br /> <br /> <br />
