RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the city council approve the Open Space Land Acquisition and Development (OSLAD) grant application to assist with the development of Phase I of the regional park. BACKGROUND The city received an OSLAD grant of $750,000 from the Illinois Department of Natural Resources to assist with the purchase of the regional park. The regional park is located on Plank Road, just west of Switzer Road. The grant requires the city to have the development of the regional park started by fall of 2011. Last year, the city submitted two OSLAD grant applications: one for the Phase I development of the regional park and a second for the purchase of land on Ash Drive. The grant application for the Phase I development of the regional park was denied, but a grant was awarded to purchase the land on Ash Drive. This year, the Phase I development of the regional park is the only OSLAD grant the city will be submitting to the State. Attached is a concept plan for the Phase I development of the regional park. In total,the regional park covers 224 acres. The Phase I development will cover 22 of these acres. The Phase I development will include a roadway, parking, detention area, rain garden, shelter, playground, one basketball court, two tennis courts and two soccer fields. The estimated cost for these improvements is $942,643. The grant reimbursement from the state would be $400,000. OSLAD Grant Application for Phase I Development of the Regional Park July 8,2010 Page 2 The city will be notified of the grant award in January or February of 2011. The construction of the Phase I improvements must be started by the fall of 2011. If this grant application is unsuccessful, the city will still be required to initiate some development at the regional park in order to comply with the original $750,000 OSLAD grant.

The city will be reimbursed $400,000 by the State of Illinois if awarded the OSLAD grant and upon successful development of Phase I. With the grant award, the net cost to the city for the Phase I development would be$542,643. LEGAL IMPACT WWNone. ALTERNATIVES 1.
