The <br /> Oregon Parks and Recreation Dep. lent received 48 applications fequesting almost $6 million <br /> in funding assistance. <br /> The Oregon Parks and Recreation Commission have approved the priority list established by <br /> staff and the Local Government Advisory Committee at their September 2, 2004 meeting in <br /> Baker City. The priority lists for funding large and small grant requests are attached. <br /> The Local Government Advisory Committee established the priority list for funding assistance <br /> for large grant requests. Projects number 1 through 8 will be funded. <br /> A committee of three OPRD staff scored and established the priority list for funding assistance <br /> for small grant requests. Projects 1 through 8 will be funded. <br /> For those projects that will be receiving funding assistance, please be advised that no work can <br /> begin until the State/Local Agreements have been approved and signed by OPRD. Once <br /> agreements have been signed by OPRD, we will send you a copy of the signed agreement and a <br /> "Notice to Proceed." The agreements specify project elements and other details about our <br /> participation in the project. I will be contacting successful applications to discuss the details of <br /> the agreement and the next steps. Work completed or started prior to your agency receiving a <br /> "Notice to Proceed" will not be eligible for reimbursement. This letter only establishes the <br /> priority list for funding projects and does not constitute project approval. <br /> Attached is a suggested press release for your use, should you wish to announce the grant award. <br /> Thank you for your participation and for all your time and effort in this application process.
