provided, records must be retained for three years from
the starting date specified in paragraph (c) of this section.

expiration of the 3 -year period, the records must be
retained until completion of the action and resolution of
all issues which arise from it, or until the end of the
regular 3 -year period, whichever is later.
(3) To avoid duplicate recordkeeping, awarding
agencies may make special arrangements with grantees
and subgrantees to retain any records which are
continuously needed for joint use. The awarding agency
will request transfer of records to its custody when it
determines that the records possess long-term retention
value. When the records are transferred to or maintained
by the Federal agency, the 3 -year retention requirement is
not applicable to the grantee or subgrantee.
(c) Starting date of retention period --(1) General.
When grant support is continued or renewed at annual or
other intervals, the retention period for the records of
each funding period starts on the day the grantee or

support is continued or renewed quarterly, the retention
period for each year's records starts on the day the
grantee submits its expenditure report for the last quarter

such a requirement, the retention period for the records
pertaining to the earning of the income starts from the
end of the grantee's fiscal year in which the income is
earned.
(4) Indirect cost rate proposals, cost allocations plans,
etc. This paragraph applies to the following types of
documents, and their supporting records: indirect cost
rate computations or proposals, cost allocation plans, and
any similar accounting computations of the rate at which
a particular group of costs is chargeable (such as
computer usage chargeback rates or composite fringe
benefit rates).
(i) If submitted for negotiation. If the proposal, plan, or
other computation is required to be submitted to the
Federal Government (or to the grantee) to form the basis
for negotiation of the rate, then the 3 -year retention
period for its supporting records starts from the date of
such submission.
CM If not submitted for negotiation. If the proposal,
plan, or other computation is not required to be submitted
to the Federal Government (or to the grantee) for
negotiation purposes, then the 3 -year retention period for
the proposal plan, or computation and its supporting

Subject: Recreational Trails Grant Approval
Recommendation: Staff requests a resolution approving an agreement of understanding between the
City of Fayetteville and the Arkansas State Highway and Transportation Department for the acceptance
the Arkansas Recreational Trails Grant to utilize $60,000 in federal -aid funds and approval of budget
adjustment for $75,000 in trail development project of capital improvement funds for the construction of a
trail connection to Mud Creek Trail at Old Missouri Road. A willingness to apply for this grant was
approved in April of 2008 by resolution 82-08.
Background: At the eastern end of Mud Creek Trail at Old Missouri Road there is currently no sidewalk or
trail connecting Mud Creek Trail south to the neighborhoods of Sweetbriar, Brookhaven, and Yorktown.
This proposed trail project includes 1,236 feet of 10' wide concrete trail connecting the existing sidewalk on the
south side of Sweetbriar Dr., north along the east side of Old Missouri Road over the existing road bridge then
down and under the same bridge to connect to Mud Creek Trail at the current trail head. The lanes of Old
Missouri Road will need to be narrowed across the bridge from the existing 30 foot width to 24 feet wide ((wo
12 foot wide lanes). This change in lane width has been approved by the City Engineer. The trail will be
raised 6" above the travel lanes and reflective markers will be installed along the bridge to help separate
pedestrians from vehicles as they cross the bridge. This project will provide a safe route for pedestrians and
bicycles to access Mud Creek Trail and Scull Creek Trail while reducing the cost by utilizing the existing bridge
and providing a grade separated crossing under Old Missouri Road. The project will comply with the
Americans with Disability Act.
Discussion: This trail connection has been the number one most requested trail improvement from the
citizens of Fayetteville and specifically the residents of Sweetbriar, Brookhaven, and Yorktown. This trail
connection project will provide a safe connection for these neighborhoods as well as Raven Trail and
Butterfield Elementary School.
A signed Agreement of Understanding from the City of Fayetteville is required to receive the funding through
the Arkansas Recreational Trails Program. The Agreement of Understanding provided by the Arkansas
Highway and Transportation Department has been included as an attachment.
Budget Impact: The terms of this grant require the City to provide funding for 20% of the total project cost, or
$15,000. Upon receipt of an official Notice to Proceed from the Arkansas Highway and Transportation
Department, the project will be reimbursable at the rate of 80%, which for this project would be a total
reimbursement amount of $60,000.00. Sufficient funding for the $15,000 City's portion of this project is
budgeted for 2009 in the Trail Development Project, within the Sales Tax Capital Improvement Fund. A budget
adjustment form has been included to recognize the $60,000 in State Grant Revenue and allocate $15,000 to
the correct sub -project.
