<br /> <br />ITEM 3.2. <br /> <br />TO: MAYOR & CITY COUNCIL <br /> <br />FROM: PAT KLAERS, CITY <br /> <br /> <br />DATE: FEBRUARY 4, 1993 <br />SUBJECT: RIVERBANK MATCHING <br /> <br />The City annually applies for a grant from the Sherburne County <br />Soil and Water Conservation District to install rip-rap along <br />the Mississippi River for the protection of the riverbank in <br />the downtown area. The City was not successful with its 1990 <br />grant application. The City was successful in its grant <br />application in 1991. The City was not successful in its grant <br />application in 1992, but we are optimistic that we will be <br />successful in 1993. It is difficult for the City to obtain a <br />matching grant every year, but expectations are high that we <br />will be successful on an every other year basis and maybe more <br />frequently if additional grant funds are available. The City <br />has slightly decreased its request from $17,500 in previous <br />years to $17,000 in an effort to receive a more favorable <br />rating. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />Action is requested by the City Council to approve this <br />application and to make a commitment to finance the $17,000 <br />matching fund requirement if we are awarded a grant. The local <br />match monies would have to come from the City Capital Projects <br />Reserve or a similar reserve fund as designated by the City <br />Council. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />720 Dodge Avenue N.W., Elk River, Minnesota 55330 (612) 441-7420 <br />
