Re: Indoor Pilot Program - ROUND ROCK Recreation Center
Dear Mayor Culpepper:
Your application for funding of indoor recreation facilities was considered by the
Parks and Wildlife Commission in its public hearing of August 29, 1996.
Unfortunately, requests substantially exceeded funding availability. Your
application was among those not funded due to this financial limitation.
Department staff are currently holding a series of public hearings to determine
possible changes to the application and review process for indoor recreation
grants. A new cycle of requests will begin early in 1997 following public review
and subsequent approval of program guidelines by the Parks and Wildlife
Commission. We would welcome your participation at any of these hearings.
Although you should have received this schedule previously, a copy of the hearing
dates and times is attached.
Please contact the Grants -In -Aid Program at 512/912 -7125 if you have any
questions.
