Closures <br /> Whitely and HIleman Parks <br /> Dear Mr. Morgan: 0 <br /> Tits Is In response to your letter dated June 20, 1.997 in which you Indicated that the City ad, <br /> Intend to participate in the Marine Board's Maintenance Assistance Program (MAP) for FY <br /> 1997.98. Furthermore you indicated that the City intends to CI08e/reStrict public access/use to <br /> these sltes due to budget reductions u the result of measure 47/60. We are very <br /> disappointed in the City's proposed action. <br /> Please be advised of the following concern* by the Marine Bosrd wtt , regard to this matter. It <br /> Is optional that the City or any Local or state agencies participate In this MAP program which is <br /> intend to provide state funds collected from boaters to local governments to help operate and <br /> maintain boat access facilities. <br /> However, the Board believes the MAP funds go along way In providing each access facility a <br /> high level of maintenance, preserving the capital investments made and assuring boaters' <br /> access to our waterways. The City currently receives $2,500 annually for each facility, which <br /> goes along way to help maintain the rastroom, ramp clean up and other O&M activities. <br /> In addition, please be advised that closure of these facilities iii contrary to the 20 -year • <br /> Cooperative Grant Agreement Originally executed between the Board and Lana County and <br /> than subsequently transferred to the City. for improvements ;Made irti 1986 under Facility Grant <br /> #366 to both Hlleman and Whitely access sites for a total expenditure of $12,738.28. <br /> Breaching the Agreement may result M the Ciry being required to reply grant funds back to <br /> the Board. <br /> • <br /> • <br /> Please reconsider the proposed closure action in view of this letter. 1 look forward to your <br /> response. <br /> Sin erely, <br /> mesa- brand tax tranimdtat nierna 7671 (ra Pain • <br /> ti. <br /> Dave Obem • ,o,, s1,M.a <br /> Facilities Manager - =1 1 O 14.• <br /> cc: Paul Donheffner, Director <br /> • <br />
