CITY OF • aeele ARKANSAS MEETING OF AUGUST 4, 2015 TO: Mayor and City Council CITY COUNCIL AGENDA MEMO THRU: Don Marr, Chief of Staff Connie Edmonston, Parks and Recreation Director FROM: Alison Jumper, Park Planning Superintendent DATE: July 17, 2015 SUBJECT: Resolution to Apply for the 2016 Arkansas Outdoor Recreation Grant RECOMMENDATION: Parks and Recreation requests City Council approval of a resolution to authorize the City to apply for $150,000 from the Arkansas Parks and Tourism Outdoor Recreation Grants Program for the construction of playground and parking improvements at Wilson Park. BACKGROUND: The Arkansas Department of Parks and Tourism annually offers a matching grant opportunity through its Outdoor Recreation Grants Program. Each year eligible entities may apply for funds for projects that create opportunity for outdoor recreation. The grant is funded from two sources. The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) is a federal program with funds derived from the sale of federal surplus real estate property, federal motor boat fuel tax, and Outer Continental Shelf mineral receipts. The 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. Arkansas Parks and Tourism has awarded our City with several grants for the development of improvements to Doc Mashburn Park, Sweetbriar Park, Bryce Davis Park, Braden Park, Grinders Skate Park at Walker Park, Gulley Park, Veterans Memorial Park at Lake Fayetteville Park and the Botanical Garden of the Ozarks at Lake Fayetteville Park. The 2016 grant application deadline is August 28, 2015. A resolution from the City of Fayetteville is required to apply for the grant (see attached sample resolution). A public hearing was held at City Hall, Room 326 on June 25, 2015 to gather input from the public regarding recreation needs and to prioritize an eligible grant project (see attached public hearing affidavit of publication and minutes). Outreach to groups such as ethnic minority populations, the elderly and persons with disabilities was attained through additional group meetings as required by the grant. Specific projects for the grant application were not defined at the outreach meetings or the public hearing. Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 DISCUSSION: After consideration of public input, available matching funds and current projects, staff recommends applying for funds for parking and ADA improvemetns as well as the replacement of the large playground at Wilson Park (see attached conceptual plans). Wilson park is one of the most popular parks and the playgroud in heavily used. The equipment and surfacing was most recently updated in 1995 and is deteriorating and is in need of replacement. Better defined parking is needed to accommodate park patrons and to protect trees and prevent erosion. Additionally, existing ADA access is in need of improvement. Existing overhead utility lines will be placed underground with the project as a requirement of the grant program. The grant application must include detailed budgets, plans, specifications and bid documents that are ready for immediate bid and construction and asks the applicant to specify how funding meets the needs of the community. This grant contains twelve (12) obligations covering items such as compliance of the Americans for Disabilities Act and requiring that the property be retained in perpetuity for outdoor recreation use (see attached grant obligations). The project area of Wilson Park meets all of these obligations. Section 6(f) (3) of the LWCF Act states "No property acquired or developed with the 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." If this property must ever be used for anything other than outdoor recreation use, it is possible to convert the park boundary. The Parks and Recreation Advisory Board approved the selection of this project for the 2016 Arkansas Parks and Tourism Outdoor Recreation Grant. The conceptual plan was approved by PRAB on July 6, 2015 (see attached PRAB meeting minutes). BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: This grant application is for $150,000. The Arkansas Outdoor Recreation Grant is a 50/50 matching grant. If the full amount requested is awarded, the City is responsible for matching $150,000 towards the project. The matching funds are available in project 13001.1101 Wilson Park Improvements.

WHAT ARE OUR OBLIGATIONS IF WE RECEIVE A GRANT? We are jointly committed! Both the Department of Parks and Tourism's Outdoor Recreation Grants Program and the project sponsor are committed to long term program compliance. After the project is completed and all grant funds have been dis- bursed, our commitment to the requirements of the Arkansas Matching Grant Program continues. These ongoing commitments include: Once a public park project boundary has been identified by the local project sponsor and provided to the Department of Parks and Tourism, all facilities constructed within that boundary, at any future time, must be in compliance with the rules and regulations of the Outdoor Recreation Grants Program Project Management Guide. This also applies to those facilities constructed in whole or in part with local funds. 2. Property acquired or developed with grant funds must be retained in perpetuity for outdoor recreation use and will be subject to inspection by the State at least once every five years. In addition each project will be inspected by the State during construction APPLICATION GUIDE and before final reimbursement is made. 3. No overhead utility lines are allowed within the project boundary. All existing utility lines located within the park boundaries must be placed underground. This regulation applies to any overhead lines including electric lines, phone lines and public announcement system wiring. No vehicular right-of-way easements are allowed within the boundary. 4. A permanent sign indicating that federal LWCF or state ANCRGTF monies were used to ac- quire and/or develop public outdoor recreation facilities must be maintained within the park in perpetuity. The Outdoor Recreation Grants Program will provide the grantee a sign, 10" wide x 8" tall, to be mounted in a promenent location within the park (ex. near entrance). Upon project completion the applicant will be required to describe the location ofthe sign and state that the sign location will not change. 5.
