DESIGNATE the General Manager, RAP, or designee, as the agent to conduct all negotiations, execute and submit all Grant documents, including but not limited to applications, agreements, amendments, and payment requests, which may be necessary for the acceptance and use of Grant funds. 4. AUTHORIZE the Chief Accounting Employee, RAP, or designee, to: a. Establish the necessary account and/or to appropriate funding received within "Recreation and Parks Grant" Fund No. 205 to accept the Grant funds in the amount of $408,000 for aquatics programming. b. Make any technical corrections as necessary to carry out the intent of the Board of Recreation and Park Commissioners (Board) report dated January 15, 2026, attached to the Council file.
