the bill in the House since it is
generally consistent Mill the hest ill.
Mush (it cities.
However, tilt, one major flaw in the
bill is that it clues nut contain in•
creased funding for the local share.
This would mean that the program will
go seven years witlwut increased fund•
ing despite the impact of inflation.
Therefore, the National League of
Cities will be offering all arnendnunt
to the Bill on the House Fluor to
increase the local share of General
Revenue Sharing in FY 87. and 83, A
specific amendment has not yet been
formulated, but cities should stress the
need for the anit,ndntent in conntrtilti•
cations with Congressmen. The follow.
Ing are justifications for the Amend.
moot :
I. The ptirchastng power of General
Rt,venuc Sharing is now 50°5 ill what
it was in 1972. The program has h,ld
ito increase since 1976,
2. City budgets have been effected by
inflation and now face revenue losses
because of the recession,
3. This amendment would have no
effect on a balanced budget in FY 81
since the funds would be provided
only in FY 82 and 83.

FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF
NATURAL RESOURCES PROPOSES
NEW RULES GOVERNING RECRE.
ATION GRANTS TO LOCAL GOV•
ERNSIENTS AND OTHER ELIGIBLE
AGENCIES. — As required by Chapter
120, F.S., the DNR has published
notices of intent to adopt new rules
covering the following three assistance
programs,
1. The Land and Water Conservation
Fund Program; 2, The Florida Recrea•
tion Development Assistance Program;
and 3. The Florida Urban Park and
Recreation Recovery Program.
Copies of the notices and a summary
of be key provisions of the proposed
rules have been mailed to all city and
county administration and parks and
recreation department directors,
The Department of Natural Resources
will take action and hear comments on
these rules at the August 26, 1980
meeting at 9:00 a.m, in the Cabinet
Meeting Ruorn, Lower Level, The
Capitol, The DNR will also hold a
hearing on September 15, 1980 at
2:00 pant., Room 302, Commonwealth
Building, Tallahassee, only if requested
in writing by September 5, 1980. If
you have any concerns or questions
about the new rules, please contact the
League office,
The main concern of the League is the
preposcd elimination of In -kind ser•
vices in the required local govern•
nlents' matching share, All local
government matching will be in cash
only, The impetus for the proposed
change came from Inaccurate and in .
properly documented in -kind contri•
butions by local governments as identi-
fled in the State Auditor's report on
the program,
The Florida League of Cities is con•
curried with the anticipated increase in
the cost of projects by not allowing
local governments to utilize existing
resources and being forced to procure
or contract services for all aspects of a
project. An alternative solution to the
criticisms of the Auditor is to apply
more stringent reporting requirements
through the development of a systern.
atic procedure for documenting in•
kind costs; coupled with regional
workshops for successful applicants oil
how to properly document all grant•
related requirements,
If your city manager or city clerk does
not receive a copy of the summary of
rule changes or if you want to con)•
ment, contact Jeff Samolinski, League
office, 1.800.342.8112,
