Resolution for Grant Application
April 20, 2005
On March 24, 2004, the Frederick County Board of Supervisors adopted a resolution authorizing
the Parks and Recreation Department to apply for a 50/50 matching grant for a Spray Ground at
Sherando Park. The grant application was submitted, however, the grant was not approved.
At the January 18,2005 Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, the Commission moved that
the staff reapply for a 50/50 matching grant to the Department of Conservation and Recreation to
construct a spray ground at Sherando Park.
The estimated cost of the project is $250,000 with the 50% match ($125,000) coming from the
proffer account for Parks and Recreation. As of Friday, April 15, 2005, the County has $147,000
in the Parks and Recreation proffer account.
The grant program is funded by the Land and Water Conservation Fund and based upon the
direction of the Federal Budget at this time, this may be the last year this grant program is
available.
