May 27h, 2016 <br /> Mayor David Sjoblad and City Council <br /> 4638 County Rd 11 <br /> City of Pequot Lakes, MN 56472 <br /> Dear Mayor and Members of the Council, <br /> As you know,the Sibley Lake Association has been awarded a$22,000 grant for the re- <br /> vegetation of the Sibley Lake Park shoreline. The Association will act as fiscal agent for <br /> the project and has assumed the responsibility of managing and maintaining the project. <br /> As part of the process,the Association Board has approved proceeding with the project <br /> and has agreed to the terms of the Grant Agreement. As part of the contact,the <br /> association is to meet certain criteria including the completion of the project along with <br /> the continued maintenance for 10 years to insure the successful outcome of the <br /> restoration. This includes filing annual reports for the same 10 year period. <br /> Failure of the project due to negligence in maintenance could require a 150%pay back of <br /> the grant by the Association per the grant agreement. A Maintenance Agreement which <br /> is also required to be signed by the LANDOWNER,obligates the City of Pequot Lakes to <br /> the same terms concerning the maintenance and outcome of the project. This is to protect <br /> the integrity of the grant process and insure commitment by the parties to its success. <br /> The purpose of this correspondence is to inform the City Council that our Association <br /> will assume the responsibility for the majority of the maintenance of the project, <br /> including the filing of the reports. The park is the property of the city and ultimately <br /> places the responsibility for its condition and maintenance. Our Lake Association is <br /> providing the means for the financing of the project through the grant and is willing to <br /> participate as an active partner in the successful completion. <br /> We are respectfully requesting that you authorize Nancy Malecha, City Administrator,to <br /> sign the agreement which will allow us to proceed with the submission of estimates for <br /> the work and request for distribution of grant funds. <br /> Thank you for your consideration and your support on this project. <br /> ;ao,L!
