We received the first HUD development grant in the
nation on this project. We are preparing an applica-
tion for Federal assistance to begin Phase II; we

expect this application to be submitted to the Regional
HUD office by the end of this week. Working drawings
for design have been finished and only the specifications
need to be written. Phase II includes an athletic field
with two baseball diamonds and football field, an
entrance drive and parking, utilities for camping, play-
ground equipment for Phase I, and necessary site work
such as grassing and grubbing, finish grading, etc. We
estimate the cost of these few items at $77,542. The
Parks Committee has appropriated $80,000. for Phase II.
We have been notified by HUD that the 50% assistance

for park development has been cut to 124% of acquisition
cost. We paid less than $50,000. for Gun Club.
