Information on applicable <br />projects and additional details on the three options are provided in the attached memorandum. <br />FINANCIAL IMPACT: Each of the options would seek to acquire PARTF grant funds to lower <br />County acquisition or facilities development cost. A 1:1 dollar match would be required by the <br />County. <br />RECOMMENDATION(S): As the Board decides. Applications to the Trust Fund are due by <br />January 31.
