SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing the Application for Per Capita and Roberti-Z’Berg-
Harris Grant Funds under the California Clean Water, Clean Air, Safe
Neighborhood Parks, and Coastal Protection Act of 2002; and Approve
Expenditure Appropriations and Revenue Increases
Introduction
This report recommends that the City Council adopt the attached resolutions authorizing
the City Manager to apply for State of California Per Capita and Roberti-Z’Berg-Harris
grant funds under the California Clean Water, Clean Air, Safe Neighborhood Parks and
Coastal Protection Act of 2002. The report also recommends budget changes
necessary to implement the grant through appropriation of expenditures authorized
under the grant and increase in revenue based on the grant award.
Background
The Safe Neighborhood Parks, Clean Water, Clean Air and Coastal Protection Bond Act
of 2002 (State Proposition 40) was developed to respond to the recreational and open
space needs of California’s growing population and expanding urban communities. It
is intended to revive state stewardship of natural resources by investing in
neighborhood and state parks, clean water protection and coastal beaches and scenic
areas. The Per Capita Grant Program is intended to meet the need for safe, open and
accessible local park and recreational facilities for increased recreational opportunities
1
and the Roberti-Z’Berg Harris Program is intended to provide funding for park and
recreational facilities to meet urban recreational needs.
Discussion
The City of Santa Monica has been allocated $387,000 under the Proposition 40 Per
Capita Program and $238,292 under the Roberti-Z’Berg-Harris Block Grant Program.
The attached resolutions provide the local approval necessary for the State to enter into
contracts with the City for the distribution of these funds. Once contracts are executed,
the City will be able to submit individual project applications to the State Department of
Parks and Recreation for approval. The use of these funds will be considered in the
context of the FY04-07 Capital Improvement Program.
