We are enclosing a copy of the lAC Capital Improvement Program Form #062 (CIP). We would appreciate it if you would submit all updated CIP revisions to us as soon as possible on this form. Because your Plan will be used as part of the evaluation process, you should ensure that your Plan is consistent with your present community needs.

TARVER Recreation Resource Planner GMT:bq Enc 1 osu res ( 2) cc: Ron Taylor TO: FROM: SUBJECT: PARKS AND RECRFATION September 3, 1981 CITY COUNCIL AND CITY ADM[NISTRATION BARNEY WILSON ~tJ EAST HILL PARK SITE At the August 24th Council Workshop and the September 3 Council Corrnni ttee Meeting, we presented a proposal to purchase approximately 9~ acres of property adjacent to Kent-Meridian High School. At that time we stated our desire to apply for a 60% grant-in-aid assistance from the State Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation (IAC). The 40% local share would come from the City, King County and the Kent School District. A breakdown of the funding for the proposed acquisition project is as follows: 60% State lAC 40% Local: King County Forward Thrust City of Kent Kent School District Total $411,600 69,523 102,439 102,438 $686,000 The lAC deadline for receipt of our grant application is October 1, 1981. The funding session will be held in March, 1982. In order for the City to submit a grant application it is necessary for the Council to adopt a Resolution authorizing the request for lAC funding assistance and identifying the intended source of the local share. A copy of the proposed Resolution is attached. Both King County and the Kent School District are in the process of passing a like Resolution. Another requirement which we must meet is passage of an updated Capital Improve- ment Plan (see letter of May 8 from Gloria Tarver). It is imperative that our first priority is the project for which we seek funds. lAC is aware that we are in the process of updating our Comprehensive Park Plan and may need to revise our C.I.P. next year as a result of our new plan. A copy of the proposed C.I.P. is attached. This C.I.P. is based on our past Park and Recreation Plan and our knowledge of today's needs. In summary, it should be noted that the Council approval for submission of this application does not bind the City in any way. The project can be withdrawn at any time. The Parks Committee recommended at their September 3, 1981, meeting that the proposed C.I.P. and Resolution be brought before the Council for adoption at the September 8th Council meeting.
