Dear Mayor Keidis:
RE: COUNTY -CITY RECREATIONAL FUNDING PROGRAM
This is to advise you that due to the decision by
one of the District I municipalities not to utilize their
allocated County -City recreational funds for fiscal year
1977 -78, we now have a surplus in District I matching
funds.
As you will remember, Palm Beach Gardens had previously
applied for funds under this program to construct a bicycle
path and was referred to the Planning, Building and Zoning
Department for possible D.O.T. funding. I understand that
you were able to obtain funding for the bicycle path
through B.O.T.
Please let me knout whether you have any additional
projects which would meet the previously stated criteria
for funding under this program. If so, notify me as soon
as possible and we can forward you an application blank
and guidelines.
Kindest regards, I am,
