RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF RICHFIELD
URGING THE EXPANSION OF THE
FEDERAL LAND AND WATER CONSERVATION FUND PROGRAM
WHEREAS, the Federal Land and Water Conservation Fund
Program LAWCON has provided greatly needed grant assistance for
local government and state outdoor recreation and open space
projects; and
WHEREAS, in Minnesota almost $57 million in (LAWCON) funds
have been provided for over 1,100 projects in every county and
hundreds of cities and townships throughout the State; and
WHEREAS, the program supported by revenues from offshore oil
leases and sale of surplus federal property does not cost
additional tax dollars and has left an important legacy for
future generations; and
WHEREAS, in recent years the allocations available to local
governments have been drastically reduced while the needs have
remained as great as ever.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City of Richfield that the
City Council urges the increase in the allocation of LAWCON funds
for local government and state park projects to help provide
adequate outdoor recreation opportunities, acquire and protect
open space areas and improve the quality of life for present and
future generations.
