DISCUSSION
The Department of Parks, Recreation and Marine was notified of the awarding of two successful grant applications, through two grant programs administered by the California Department of Parks and Recreation, for projects at Seaside Park. The Land and Water Conservation Fund (Fund) and the California Youth Soccer and Recreation Development Grant Program (Program) were highly competitive statewide grant programs with an overwhelming number of grant applications.
Funding in the amount of $218,605 has been awarded through the Fund for the development of Seaside Park. Development construction includes picnic areas, a ball court, a walking path, and landscaping. Another $210,877 in funding has been awarded through the Program for the development of a youth mini-soccer field at Seaside Park (Attachment #1 - site plan).
This item was reviewed by Senior Deputy City Attorney Donna F. Gwin, on December 27, 2005, and Budget Management Officer David Wodynski on January 5, 2006.
TIMING CONSIDERATIONS
City Council action is requested on February 1/1 2006, in order to sign the grant agreements in a timely manner.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost of the park development project is estimated at $562,860. Grant funding will offset $218,605, with the remaining $344,255 coming from Park Impact Fees, which are appropriated in the Fiscal Year 2006 (FY 06) Adopted Budget.
The cost of the youth soccer field development is estimated at $404,277. Grant funding will offset $210,877, with the remaining $193,400 coming from Park Impact Fees, which are appropriated in the FY 06 Adopted Budget.
Future maintenance and staffing costs for the projects have not been identified and will need to be considered in future General Fund budgets once the park is developed.
