Agenda Item for 6/28/99 City Council Meeting
The Grants Department has submitted an application for the 1999 Texas Parks and Wildlife
Recreational Trails Grant Program. Working with Ed Hersh, we have developed an application

match of $7,950 to meet the 20% matching reqmrement.
We would like to put an item on the 6/28/99 City Council Agenda for a resolution supporting
this application. I have attached a draft of the resolution. Please contact me if you need any
further information. Thank you for your assistance.
