FOUNDATION (VAGF), THE VAIL VALLEY FOUNDATION (VVF), AND
THE TOWN OF VAIL (TOV) TO SOLICIT FUNDING FROM GREAT

WHEREAS, GOCO's mission is to "help the people of Colorado preserve,
enhance, appreciate, and enjoy our parks, wildlife, trails, rivers, and open
space by making strategic grants;" and
WHEREAS, there is a general recognition there are more good projects
than available funds, the collective effort demonstrated by the VRD, the
VAGF, the WF, and TOV, to coordinate and recommend "Local Government
and Outdoor Recreation" grants through GOCO that support the "construction
of recreation facilities related to parks such as playgrounds, sports fields, or
other recreation fixed assets; or local government funds available for the
construction of environmental education facilities" merit approval of such
local projects for GOCO funding; and
WHEREAS, the VRD, VAGF, VVF, and TOV believe their application for
funding meets the standards, criteria, and requirements for GOCO grants to
satisfy the need for the project, what is to be accomplished, and how such
grant funds will be used; and
WHEREAS, the Vail Town Council previously approved amendments to the
Ford Park Master Plan (April 1997) which outline, define, and reinforce the
improvements to Ford Park as collectively recommended; and
WHEREAS, through the leveraging of dollars individually funded through
each of the aforementioned user groups, the partnership formed for this
collective funding bid represents a community resolve to complete
improvements as set forth in the Ford Park Master Plan.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Town Council of the Town of Vail,
Colorado:
1. The Vail Town Council approves and directs the Town Manager to
work in coordination with the VRD, the VAGF, and the WF to obtain funding
from Great Outdoors Colorado for park improvements to Ford Park.
2. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its passage.
