FINANCIAL IMPACT: There is no cost to the County associated with this application. If the <br />County is a recipient of the assistance program, existing staff can provide support to the expert <br />team. Although this assistance will be free to the applicant, communities, regions, and states <br />that show commitment through partnerships, such as local government staff time, support from <br />local businesses, and other local resources, will have priority in the selection process. Matching <br />funds from the applicant will allow greater use of the expert team for the selected project. Staff <br />will examine application criteria to enhance the possibility of the award. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board approve the submittal of <br />an application for the Smart Growth Implementation Assistance program and authorize the <br />Chair to sign the application for submittal prior to the May 8, 2008 deadline. <br />
