This grant will be used to renovate the playgrounds at Sweetbriar and Bryce Davis Parks, and to install ADA accessible surfacing underneath the existing playground at Gulley Park. BACKGROUND On June 5, 2006, Parks and Recreation Staff met with citizens who expressed an interest in renovations occurring at Bryce Davis and Sweetbriar Parks. Residents wished to see the old playgrounds removed and replaced with newer, safer play structures. In addition, residents requested new picnic tables at Sweetbriar and for a second basketball area at Davis Park. Further, at the July 10, 2006, Parks and Recreation Advisory Board Meeting, PRAB approved for the grant to include funds to install an ADA accessible, fall safe surface to be installed at the existing playground, for ages 5 - 12, at Gulley Park. On August 1, 2006, City Council passed Resolution Number 127-06 authorizing Parks and Recreation to apply for a grant from Arkansas Department of Parks and Touism. The resolution states, "the City of Fayetteville and the State of Arkansas will enter into an agreement which obligates both parties to the policies and procedures containted in the land and Water Conservation Fund Grants Manual including, but not limited to the following: the park area defined by the project boundary map, submitted in the • application, must remain in outdoor recreation use in perpetuity." DISCUSSION Parks and Recreation applied for this grant, submitting a request for $125,000 for a total project cost of $252,000. The Outdoor Recreation Grant is a 50/50 Matching Grant that is reimbursed to the City. The State of Arkansas awarded the Parks and Recreation Division $100,000. Parks and Recreation Staff plans to complete each of the projects as planned in the grant. These projects will start after a Project Management meeting is held with Arkansas State Parks Officials. After this meeting, the Outdoor Recreation and Grants Program will issue the City of Fayetteville a Notice to Proceed. Work on these projects should begin in late spring. • City Council Meeting of February 6, 2007 BUDGET IMPACT Arkansas State Parks Outdoor Recreation Program awarded the City of Fayetteville a total of $100,000 to complete these three projects. This grant is a 50 / 50 matching grant, meaning the Outdoor Recreation Grant Program will pay half of the expenses, up to $100,000. The City's match is accounted for in project number 02027, Playground and Picnic Improvements. Parks and Recreation plans to bid all three projects as originally designed. After bids are received, Parks Staff will recommend to City Council to either cut a portion of the project or make a budget adjustment to accommodate the three projects.

The Arkansas Natural and Cultural Resources Grant and Trust Fund (NCRGTF) is a state program with funds collected from a tax on the transfer of certain real estate in the State of Arkansas. LWCF and NCRGTF funds are included in the Department of Parks and Tourism's Outdoor Recreation Grants Program for funding outdoor recreation facilities. Only incorporated cities and counties may apply. This is a 50/50 reimbursable matching grant with a $250,000 maximum request on matching funds. Last year, Arkansas Parks and Tourism awarded our City with $115,128 for construction of The Botanical Garden of the Ozarks at Lake Fayetteville. In 2004, the City of Fayetteville was awarded $40,000 for construction of Braden Park. In 2002, the City of Fayetteville received $100,000 for construction of Grinders Skate Park at Walker Park. This year's grant deadline is August 27, 2006. A resolution from the City of Fayetteville is required to apply for the grant. • Current Status On, June 19th and June 20th public meetings were held at Sweetbriar Park and Bryce Davis Park to gather input from the public of their recreational desires and to prioritize an eligible grant project. An outreach to groups such as ethnic minority populations, the elderly and persons with disabilities was attained through group, meetings. It was determined after obtaining public input that a grant for improvements to each of these parks be submitted. Improvements to Sweetbriar Park will include removal of outdated play equipment, installation of ADA accessible play equipment and picnic area. Bryce Davis Park will have the outdated play equipment removed and ADA accessible play equipment installed as well as a basketball court. Improvements to Gulley Park, which will also be included in the request, consist of replacement of the existing pea gravel play surface with an ADA approved soft surface tile. On July 10th, Parks and Recreation Advisory Board endorsed the decision from the public meetings, recommending to City Council that the Parks and Recreation Division complete the grant application. The grant application must include detailed budgets, plans, specifications and bid documents that are ready for immediate bid and construction. The planned improvements for all three parks are completely ADA accessible. The grant also asks the applicant to specify how the funding meets the needs of the community. These improvements will provide for a safer play area as well as ADA accessible equipment for all citizens, which was a request in the Parks and Recreation Ten Year Master Plan. Improving and upgrading the facilities at these parks will achieve these goals. This grant contains twelve (12) obligations covering everything from compliance of the Americans for Disabilities Act to property retained in perpetuity for outdoor recreation use. The land and the project our department would like to apply for grant funds each meet these obligations. Section 6(0(3) of the LWCF Act states "No property acquired or developed with assistance under this section shall, without the approval of the Secretary of the United States Department of the Interior, be converted to other than public outdoor recreation use. The Secretary shall approve such conversion only if he/she finds it to be in accordance with the then existing Statewide Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP) and only upon such conditions as he/she deems necessary to assure the substitution of other recreation properties of at least equal fair market value and of reasonable equivalent usefulness and location." If this property must ever be used for anything other than recreational use, it is possible to convert the park boundary. Currently, Bryce Davis and Gulley Parks are already contained within a LWCF / Arkansas State Parks Outdoor Recreation Park boundary. Recommendation Parks and Recreation requests City Council approval of a resolution to authorize the City, to apply for up to $250,000 from the Arkansas Parks and Tourism Outdoor Recreation Grant Program for the new Botanical Gardens site at Lake Fayetteville.

This contract is for a $100,000 grant from the Outdoor Recreation Grants Program for the renovation of Sweetbriar and Bryce Davis Parks. On August 1, 2006, City Council approved for Parks and Recreation to apply for a grant in an amount not to exceed $125,000 for the improvements for Sweetbriar, Bryce Davis and Gulley Parks. On December 7, 2006, we received notice the state has awarded us $100,000. At the February 6, 2007 Council Meeting, a resolution was passed to accept this grant. The grant is a 50/50 matching grant, where the State will reimbursable the City for half of our expenses. The original grant application included an overall project budget of $250,000. After only the receiving $100,000 of the funding from the state, the budget for the project had to be readjusted. The most logical solution was removing the Gulley Park portion from the Grant process. This included the addition of a ADA Accessible, fall safe material underneath the playground at Gulley Park. This project is scheduled to take place, without grant funding, this summer. Improvements at Sweetbriar Park include removing the old playground equipment and replacing it with a new playground with ADA Accessible Fall Safe material. The renovations will also include ADA accessible picnic tables. These new amenities will accompany the half court, basketball court that has been a feature of this park for many years. The renovation at Bryce Davis Park includes the removal of the old equipment and the addition of a two new playgrounds. This will feature a new 2 — 5 year old appropriate structure and an ages 5 —12 appropriate structure This budget also allows for a new half court basketball court to be constructed as well. After this contract is signed, Arkansas State Parks will issue a Notice to Proceed Document for the renovations of Bryce Davis and Sweetbriar Parks Immediately after, these projects will be put to bid.

This booklet contains the Application Guide that was used to prepare your grant application, the Management Guide that outlines a summary of the regulations and procedures for administering your grant project, and a copy of the signed contract. Part of our responsibility in administering Arkansas's Outdoor Recreation Grant Program is to inform and remind you of the federal Land and Water Conservation Fund program regulations that you have agreed to abide by in this contract. Listed below are some of those major responsibilities. Please re -read lhe enclosed documents carefully. If you have any questions concerning this information, please contact Bryan Kellar, Director, Outdoor Recreation Grants Program, at (501) 682-1301. 1. The Project site must be retained and maintained for outdoor recreation In perpetuity. This means that the land and facilities within the project boundary cannot be converted to uses other than outdoor recreation (i.e., no public, civic or private buildings such as a city hall, fire station, chamber of commerce, community center, etc.). 2. If the site is converted to some other use, it will have to be replaced entirely at your own cost with land and facilities of equal value and usefulness. Should the need for conversion ever arise, suitable replacement property will have to be approved by the Secretary of the Interior through this office, prior to any action taking place. The Honorable Dan Coody Page 2 July 20, 2007 3 All existing and future utility lines within the project boundary must be placed underground. 4. If you plan to add additional outdoor recreation facilities, please notify our office. Certain other facilities, such as local recreation centers may be eligible to be located within the project site. Please contact our office before making any improvements to the project site to determine what regulations apply. 5. A permanent LWCF/NCRGTF acknowledgment sign is required on all project sites. If, at any time, a new sign is needed, one is available "at cost" from this office 6. If your project is locked at any time, you must post hours stating when the facility is open to the public. School -sponsored projects must display hours of public use. 7. All sites must comply with regulations under Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, assuring access by the handicapped. 8. Your recreational facility must remain open to the general public and you must assure that no person is subjected to discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin. Additionally, all grant recipients are required to follow the same bidding and purchasing procedures required by law of state agencies. These procedures are explained in the Management Guide which is part of the enclosed contract agreement booklet. I do not have the authority to waive or make exceptions to these procedures. Lately, several grantees have been denied grant reimbursements for failing to follow these procedures. Before advertising for bids or purchasing goods and services, make sure all procedures have been followed. If I can provide you with any additional information, please feel free to contact me.
