District Cities Excess Funds have been allocated to the City of Santa Monica from the
County of Los Angeles in the amount of $273,000 for Euclid Park construction which

the City in the amount of $273,000 for costs incurred related to the construction of the
park.
Discussion
In summer of 2007, following an extensive community design and construction process,
Euclid Park opened to the community. During the design process, staff worked with the
Third Supervisorial District to obtain grant funding for the project. A verbal commitment
of $273,000 from Los Angeles County was secured prior to the start of construction.
The allocation of specific fund sources was recently resolved with the County Board of
Supervisors' action on December 2, 2008, extending authorization to the City of Santa
1
Monica to draw from County Proposition A Specified (1992) and Per Parcel (1996)
funds as well as funds from the Third Supervisorial District Cities Excess Funds.
The attached resolution provides the local approvals necessary for the City to formally
apply for the funds and for the County to enter into an agreement with the City for
reimbursement of $273,000 expended on the project construction.
Prior Council Actions
On May 11, 2004, City Council authorized the City Manager to negotiate and execute a
professional services agreement for the design of the park. On June 14, 2005, Council
reviewed and approved the proposed concept design plans for the project and on July
11, 2006 City Council awarded the construction contract for the project.
Financial Impacts & Budget Actions
Revenue account 20501.406970 will be established to receive the grant funds.
