Sole Tallahassee, Florida 32399 -3000 Secretary This letter is in regard to your recent grant application for the Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program. The 2008 -09 Legislature has proposed a reduction in program funds. The reduced budget is pending the Governor's signature, which contains proviso language in the appropriations HB Bill 1839 for an equity proration of $24,474,875.00 in program funds to each project on the recommended list. The result of the proviso language means every project on the recommended list will receive funding. We are hopeful that the budget will pass; if so, we must be proactive in efforts to gather the information needed to act quickly to get your grant budget revised and returned to our office for the Project Agreement preparation. We ask that your project scope is kept within the same frame work of the original application proposal. Your Agency's original request has been reduced to $ 50,854.00. Please review and reduce the project scope to reflect the revised total project cost. In preparation of the revision, refer to the matching ratio chart at the top of the enclosed financial page (1). The reduced budget must reflect primary cost not less than of 50% total project cost. We ask that you use the enclosed forms to revise your budget and project scope. Please return these forms to our office no later than June 6, 2008, or your funds will be jeopardized. You may fax the revisions to 850/245 -3038 or email them to the address listed below. Your timely response is very crucial to our workload and program timeline and your cooperation is appreciated. If you have any questions regarding this request please call our office for assistance.
