"The Department of Parks and Recreation has filed a preliminary application for funds from the National Park Service, to provide structural improvements to the second floor of the Neighborhood Facility Recreation Center. The Neighborhood Facility on Elm Avenue provides recreational programs and facilities for a large residential area, This facility is the focal point for the Department of Parks and Recreation's Youth Against Drugs Program (YAD). This preventative program is directed toward the "at-risk" youth of the area and represents virtually the only opportunity for constructive recreation. The Department of Parks and Recreation has identified substantial improvements which would make this facility more functional and attractive to its users, but lack of funding has prevented these improvements from being made. The maximum grant award is $61,210, and the City share (30%) for such a grant would be $18,363. This project would be of significant benefit to many low income families and would vastly improve an aging and deteriorating facility. The Director of Leisure Services recommends applying for this grant. I concur, and therefore request your approval of the attached resolution supporting our UPARR grant application." Motion by Mr. Clemons, and seconded by Mr. Robinett, to adopt the following resolution, and was adopted by the following vote: "A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE CITY OF PORTSMOUTH'S APPLICATION TO THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE FOR FUNDS TO IMPROVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD FACILITY RECREATION CENTER. WHEREAS, the City of Portsmouth operates the Neighborhood Facility Recreation Center located on Elm Avenue and same is a focal point for the City's Youth Against Drugs (YAD) Program; and
