RCO Policy Changes Public Comment Request: Youth Athletic Facilities (YAF) Program
RCO Staff recently posted an invitation for public comment on potential policy changes affecting the Youth Athletic Facilities (YAF) program and the Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program – Local Parks category. Four policy proposals are under development:
- Allowing acquisition only projects in the YAF Large category
- Increasing grant limits in YAF Large and Small categories
- Developing a variable (sliding scale) grant limit for communities eligible for match reduction
- Limiting ability to match YAF and WWRP Local Parks grants
The proposed changes are summarized in a policy memo available on the RCO Policy Changes web page. Comments can be submitted to [email protected]. When commenting, please use “YAF Policies” in the subject line. Feedback will be accepted through 11:59pm on Sunday, August 20, 2023. Thank you for your interest in RCO policy changes.
