4./ 1� <br /> Item#13.a. <br /> 411, <br /> E1kRiver MEMORANDUM <br /> TO: Park & Recreation Commission <br /> FROM: Pat Klaers, City Ad istrator <br /> DATE: August 12, 1998 <br /> SUBJECT: State Grant <br /> Attached for your information is some good news from the state regarding a <br /> grant for paving of the railroad trail. After several years of receiving positive <br /> verbal feedback on the city's trail paving proposal, Phil has finally been <br /> successful in receiving some funds. The project limit was $100,000 and Phil <br /> submitted a proposal for $98,000 to pave the trail from County Road 33 south <br /> through the Oak Knoll complex. With or without a successful bond <br /> referendum, plans call for the paving of the trail to be completed next spring <br /> • following the water department's completion of its water treatment building <br /> which is north of Meadowvale School. The water department uses the trail <br /> as access to its well and building and will be paying for the second lift of <br /> blacktop on this section of the trail in order to strengthen the surface to <br /> handle heavy trucks. <br /> As noted in the previous agenda item, this state grant will allow us to reduce <br /> the outdoor park and trail component of the bond proposal by $49,000. <br /> \\elkriver\sys\shrdoc\council\park&rec\grttrl.doc <br /> • <br /> 13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
