4. NEW BUSINESS
a. ACTION: AZSTA GRANT - FOOTHILLS SPORTS COMPLEX
Mr. Barnard briefed the Commission on the recent grant funding received from the Arizona
Sports and Tourism Authority that provides for upgrades at the Foothills Sports Complex. Mr.
Barnard's comments included the following:
The Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority provides grant funding for youth and amateur
sports. In the year 2000, Prop 302 was passed that provides revenue from tax collections
to support tourism in Arizona. A portion of this revenue is used to provide grant funding for
youth and amateur sports in the Maricopa County area. The Glendale Parks and
Recreation Department has been a recipient of their grant awards a number of times and
staff has a great working relationship with this organization. This past summer, we
submitted a grant application in partnership with the Arrowhead Little League to upgrade
the dugouts and add shade structures for the spectator areas at the Foothills Sports
Complex. The total grant is for $149,982.90, broken down as follows: $50,000 has been
pledged by Arrowhead Little League, $50,000 has been pledged by the City of Glendale;
and the remaining amount of $49,982.90 has been pledged by the Arizona Sports and
Tourism Authority. Staff will be presenting a formal agreement to the City Council for their
approval and are seeking the Commission's discussion and approval on this item.
Motioned by Vice Chair Gayle Schiavone, seconded by Commissioner Ronald Beye to
recommend the project and acceptance of the grant award to City Council for
approval. Motion carried 5 - 0.
