BACKGROUND The County Correctional Facili ty Capital Expendi ture and Youth Facility Bond Act was approved by the voters in 1988. The Act provides $25 million in state funds for the acquisition, renovation or construction of facilities and/or the purchase of equipment for youth centers and shelters. The Bond Act funds are available to non-profit organizations and public agencies through a competitive grant process which is being administered by the California Youth Authority (CYA). Funds in the amount of up to $1 million are available for individual projects. Funding priority shall first be given to non-profit organizations. The deadline for grant applications is March 27, 1990. DISCUSSION Based on extensive City staff discussion and meeting~::~ - 1 - .. ~.r r-.-; .. 1. . . representatives of CYA, the Santa Monica Police Activities League (PAL), which is incorporated as a separate non-profit agency, intends to apply as the lead agency for funding for construction of a youth center to target Santa Monica's at-risk youth. PAL is considered an ideal candidate for funding due to the Police Department's extensive work with at-risk youth. The city will be a supporting applicant due to the staff and funding it contributes to the PAL program. The joint PAL/City application will seek funding in the amount of $1 million for the construction of an approximately 9,000 square foot addition to the City's recreation center located in Memorial Park. The addition will consist of several multi-purpose activity rooms and offices for the PAL program. The complex, although intended principally for use by the City's PAL program, will also be designed with the needs of other youth user groups in mind and will be available for use by other city youth programs, including proposed Kids City programs to be developed over the coming year. PAL is seeking grant funding to construct this space due to the very limited availability of activity rooms for the program in current city facilities. The City I S recreational facilities, including community rooms are already heavily utilized and the ability of PAL to meet the demands of local youth has been greatly constrained by the lack of dedicated PAL space. Specifically, over 300 youth are currently registered in the PAL program but, due to the lack of sufficient space, the program has only been able to effectively serve approximately 150 youth. - 2 - . . ", As the City is a co-applicant for the bond act funds, it must contribute a hard or soft match valued at 25% of the total grant award. The market value of the property on which the addition is proposed to be constructed can be included in the 25% match, as can the architectural design services to be contributed by a member of the PAL Board, the project management services to be provided by city staff, and the cost of all related City permits. As such, at this time, it is not anticipated that the City will be required to contribute any direct financial assistance to the project. The proposed addition at Memorial Park for the PAL program was presented to the Recreation and Parks Commission by city staff at their meeting of February 15 and received the Commissionrs unanimous support. Relationship to the Kid's city Program The joint PAL/City application for bond act funding of a PAL youth center is regarded as a first step in the multi-phased Kids City program. In the future, City staff will be returning to the City Council with proposals for the development of additional youth center and youth program resources throughout the community, as defined and prioritized by youth in the community. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACT The recommended action has no budget or financial impact. Should the city be successful in securing bond act funding, city staff will return to the City council to request appropriation of the - 3 - '. . . grant funds and to outline the components of the city's 25% match in more detail. RECOMMENDATION City staff recommends that the city council adopt the attached resolution authorizing City staff to proceed with the submittal of a grant application to the California Youth Authority for funding of the construction of an approximate 9,000 square foot addition to the current city recreation facility at Memorial Park for use by the City's PAL program.
