Responsible Department: City Manager Commentary: The City is considering pamcipating In a regional open space planning process in association with driller communities In our immediate area. This process will be conducted under the auspices of PVCOG and directed by a Steenng Committee composed of tyro representathes of each participating community. Support for this process will come from the Trust for Public Lands. Each participating community will be assessed 50 cents per capita toward the cost of this project. While the cost of the project is anticipated to exceed this amount, additional grant funding and contributions from other orgarumsJons are a osched m provide the necessary, funding. Bangors estimated share of project: costs will be approxlmatety $16,000. In addition, we may be interested in some additional support from the Trust for Public lands W assist In adapting the regional plan to Bangor and updating the open space element of our comprehensive plan. This has been recommended by the Planning Board and discussed on several occasions. While a final estimate of additional costs is not currently available, I would request that an additional $14,000 be made available for this purpose. We anticipate that State Revenue Sharing will exceed the amount budgeted for the current year. The state provides an annual estimate of the revenue small each community volt receive; unfortunately, that estimate Is normally not provided until after the City has adopted ft annual budget. This years state estimate's higher, primarily due to an increase in Revenue Sharing II funding that goes to communities whose state adjusted mill rate Is In excess of $10. The monthly payments we have received m data support the State's estimate. As a result, the necessary funding wilt be available from this source. The attached resolve will appropriate $30,000 for these purposes. Departrnent Head Manager's Commems: City Manager Aeeorbated Information: BudgetApproval: Flo rector Legal Approval .
