Blueberry Park Project. Phone: 473-5309
SUMMARY: The Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) Program was established by the
United States Congress in 1965 with the passage of the LWCF Act. The Act authorizes the Secretary
of the Interior to provide financial assistance to the states for the acquisition and/or development of
public outdoor recreation areas and facilities found to be in accord with the Statewide Comprehensive
Outdoor Recreation Plan (SCORP). Funds for the program are derived from leaseholders of federal
offshore oil and gas resources, federal recreation fees, sales of federal surplus real property, and
federal motorboat fuel taxes. The National Park Service (NPS), within the US Department of the
Interior, manages this federal grant program. NPS is the federal agency that ultimately receives and
approves all project applications, agreements and amendments.
The Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation (lAC) administers the L WCF Program in the
state of Washington. Funds from this program are proposed to partially fund construction of the
Blueberry Park Project. To be eligible to receive the grant, a resolution in the format presented must
be completed. The requested action before the City Council is approval of Resolution No.
.3003 authorizing the City to make formal application for funding assistance from the
Interagency Committee for Outdoor Recreation.
ATTACHMENTS: Council Summary, Resolution No. 30 z> 3
FISCAL IMPACTS (Include Budgeted Amount): This LWCF grant would provide $100,000
beginning in July 2007 to partially fund development and construction of the Blueberry Park Project.
