Land and Water Conservation Fund Grant Application for Harvest
View Estates Park
INTRODUCTION
This memo transmits for City Council approval a resolution authorizing submission of a
Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) grant application to the Iowa Department
of Natural Resources (IDNR) for the Harvest View Park. A map, Capital Improvement
Program (CIP) budget, and resolution are attached for City Council consideration.
DISCUSSION
The IDNR provides federal LWCF funds to cities as a pass-through grant from the
National Park Service for the acquisition and development of parks and recreation
facilities. The City has received two LWCF grants for the Riprow Valley project.
At the recommendation of Gil Spence, Leisure Services Manager, the LWCF grant
monies will be used for the development of a neighborhood park on the land donated to
the City of Dubuque by the Harvest View Development Group. The property is located
on the north side of Asbury Road, east of the Northwest Arterial and west of Dennis
Kitchen Funeral Home. The 1 acre park will include play equipment, landscaping
amenities, a sidewalk, and a gazebo.
Harvest View Park is included in the ClP for Fiscal Year 2004 with a total budget of
$121,500 from the City's General Fund. The grant application is for $50,000. If the grant
is received, the City funds budgeted for this project will be reduced by $50,000 to
$71,500.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that the City Council approve the attached resolution: Acquisition or
Development for Outdoor Recreation and authorize the Mayor to sign the Resolution,
Project Proposal Application, and Project Agreement General Provisions.
