DATE: February 8, 2010
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THRU: David N. Carmany, City Manager,
FROM: Jill R. Ingram, Assistant to the City Manager
SUBJECT: STATEWIDE PARK DEVELOPMENT AND
COMMUNITY REVITALIZATION PROGRAM
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The Recreation & Parks Commission requests City Council approval to pursue
the submission of a grant proposal for a small community center, including -
restrooms and a patio, at Heather Park in College Park East.
BACKGROUND:
As discussed by both the City Council and Recreation and Parks Commission,
one of the Community Services Department's recently established goals is
increasing recreation opportunities, specifically in College Park East. However,
one of the major limitations of . programming recreational classes and activities in
College Park East is the lack of a community center or restroom facilities. For
this reason, staff identified the Statewide Parks Development Program as an
opportunity for the City to request funding for a potential project in College Park
East. The grant application does not require' the City to match funds for
approved projects, and the only financial impact would be the ongoing cost of
facility maintenance, which should be minimal for a new facility.
This grant program is a competitive process based on the creation of new parks
and new recreation opportunities in proximity to the most critically underserved
communities. The California Parks Department has currently made
$368,000,000 available to projects that will benefit the health of families, youth,
senior citizens, and other population groups by meeting their recreational,
cultural, social, educational, and environmental needs. Grant funds do not
require matching appropriations from the City, and there is a minimum grant
request of $100,000 and maximum of $5,000,000 available per project.
The completed grant application is due no later than March 1, 2010.
