SR-303-001-03 (2) e e ~-u DEe 9 ,. 30?r~OI'-o3 RP:DTA:VR council Meeting December 9, 1986 Santa Monica, california TO: Mayor and city Council FROM: city Staff Recommendation to Adopt Resolution Applying for State Parklands Bond Act Funds for Construction of Recreational Facility SUBJECT: INTRODUCTION This report recommends that Council adopt the attached resolution which is required in applying for funds available through the State Parklands Bond Act of 1986. BACKGROUND The Parklands Bond Act of 1986 which was recently approved by the -. voters of California provides a per capita allocation to public agencies for the land acquisition, development or rehabilitation of park, recreation or historical facilities. The allocation for the city of Santa Monica under this grant program is $253,000. Although the city of Santa Monica has three years to apply for the allocated funds, the state Department of Parks and Recreation has requested that the city indicate its preliminary plans for use of the funds. Once the city finalizes its plans for the use of the funds, it will be possible to request a change in the project should it elect to do SOi such a change will normally be b-U BEG .. - 1 - e e granted as long as the new project conforms to the requirements of the grant program. PROPOSAL Currently all the recreation facilities in the City of Santa Monica are utilized to capacity. In particular, the City is not able to meet the demand by local groups for meeting space in recreation facilities. Clover Park, one of the largest parks in the City, would be a prime location in which to locate a new recreation facility. This idea has been raised in discussions with area neighbors in the past and would be pursued with extensive input from residents as to the desirability of such a project. Therefore, staff proposes that a preliminary grant request be made for $253,000 to pay for the cost of construction of a suitable recreation facility in Clover Park. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACT The $253,000 available from the 1986 Parklands Bond Act is allocated on a non-competitive basis from the state. At this point no cost estimates have been developed for a recreation facility and it is not possible to determine whether this grant would cover the full cost of such a project. Should this grant be awarded, staff will return to Council for approval of any necessary appropriation and revenue estimate changes. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that Council adopt the attached resolution to - 2 - e e apply for 1986 California Parklands Bond Act monies for the construction of a recreation facility in Clover Park.
