New Business Action: Arizona Sports and Tourism Authority (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 2 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. Motion by Vice Chair Schiavone, second by Commissioner Beye, to recommend the project and acceptance of the grant award to City Council for approval. Motion carried 5 – 0. 6.
