Body
CITY PROPOSAL:
WHEREAS, Duluth City Council Resolution 23-0986R authorized acceptance of a Greater Minnesota Legacy Grant for $531,590 from the Greater Minnesota Regional Parks and Trails Commission and Minnesota Department of Natural Resources to supplement Spirit Mountain Legacy Capital Improvements.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the proper City officials are hereby authorized to accept and execute the first amendments, substantially in the form attached as Exhibit A, to the grant contract, City contract number C24837, with the State of Minnesota for the Spirit Mountain Legacy Capital Improvements to clarify the term for all grant funds as expiring June 30, 2027.
Statement of Purpose
STATEMENT OF PURPOSE: This resolution authorizes the first amendment, substantially in the form of Exhibit A, to the grant agreement (City contract No. C24837) with the State of Minnesota for the Spirit Mountain Legacy Capital Improvements to clarify the term for all grant funds as expiring June 30, 2027.
The amendment does not change the total funds awarded of $531,590, the required matching funds of $72,850 that are sourced from previously allocated Athletic Venues Reinvestment Initiative funds, nor the scope of the project. Rather, the amendment clarifies that all grant funds will expire on June 30, 2027. The original grant agreement developed by the State of Minnesota listed a portion of the funds as expiring June 30, 2025. This amendment does not extend the term of the agreement.
