3.72% of the total project cost; and

matching contribution no less than the amount of conservation futures funds awarded to the project
before conservation futures tax funds are reimbursed to that sponsor; and
WHEREAS, Jefferson County still considers it in the best public interest to contribute
financially to this open space project.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that:
1. Jefferson County hereby rededicates up to $25,000 in conservation futures funds in the

expenses contingent upon presentation of a matching contribution of at least fifty
percent (50%). The sponsor anticipates that the matching contribution will remain
ninety-six percent (96%) at the time of project completion.
2. This dedication of funding may be nullified if a submittal for reimbursement,
