Sports Complex" with an estimated grant request of $133,500, whi.ch included funds';
for six tennis courts and softball, socc~r and football fields for both youth andl
adults.' He explained .the 'grant was on a 75% -, 25% matching status, i.e., the . 'i
State would meet 75% of the grant and the City would provide the remaining 25% ofi,
the funds. The City meets the requirements of the grant in that it meets currently
unmet park and recreation needs in a heavily populated area, it,is on a major j

families in the area. He explained State representatives would come to the City
