This money will serve as a portion of the recipient match for the $1.2 million EDA grant. BACKGROUND The HARP Foundation has received funds from the El Pomar Foundation, the Coors Foundation, and other miscellaneous sources. These funds are to be used to fund the Amphitheater and Grand Entryway, the Boat- house facility, and streetscapes. The scope of these projects is similar to the infrastructure project to be funded by EDA. The HARP Foundation and the various donors to the HARP Foundation have agreed to allow the Foundation to bundle its entire project with the EDA Project. The City has received an amendment to EDA Financial Assistance Award No. 05 -01 -02935 which allows us to accomplish this. We are, therefore, able to use all of the HARP Foundation's money as a match. For the City to comply with Paragraph 5 of the Special Conditions of the Economic Development Administration of the Financial Assistance Award No. 05 -01- 02935, the City must certify that the non- federal share of the projects' costs is committed and is available as needed for the project. RECOMMENDATION Entering into this agreement with the HARP Foundation will commit the Foundation's funds and make them available for the EDA match.
