Land and Water Conservation Fund Grant Application for Riprow
Valley Recreation Area
INTRODUCTION
This memo transmits for City Council approval a Land and Water Conservation Fund
(LWCF) grant application from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources for the
RiprowValley Recreation Area. A map, project budget, and resolution are attached for
Council consideration.
DISCUSSION
The grant monies will be used for the development of four softball fields for use by the
Dubuque Girls Independent League on the 11.31-acre site of the former Koch Sulfur
Supply Company. The Dubuque Girls Independent Softball League has agreed to
develop and manage the property for at least the next 25 years. The first phase of the
development is for site grading and preparation, which includes asbestos removal,
building demolition, site grading, topsoil application and delivery of water/sewer
services. The second phase is the actual development of the softball field complex,
which includes fencing, infields, seeding, lighting, parking lot, restrooms/concession
stand, playground equipment and batting cages.
The City was awarded a $49,578 LWCF grant for acquisition of the property last April.
The amount requested through this grant application is $175,000. The grant requires a
one-to-one dollar-matching amount of non-federal funds. Private donations are
expected to exceed the required matching amount as this project has received much
local support.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council approve the attached LWCF application for the
Riprow Valley Project, and authorize the Mayor to sign the resolution, project proposal
application, and project agreement general provisions.
