Lindley, Director of Community Services October 17, 2003 (Meeting of November 5, 2003) SUBJECT: Consider Adoption of Resolutions Approving Future Applications for Safe Neighborhood Parks, Clean Water, Clean Air, and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2002 Funds. BACKGROUND The Safe Neighborhood Parks, Clean Water, Clean Air, and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2002 (Proposition 40) received approval by California voters. Like its predecessor Proposition 12, Proposition 40 has a number of provisions that provide funding to local governments to develop, improve, and maintain parks. Of significance to Moorpark is the Robert i- Z'Berg- Harris Urban Open Space and Recreation Grant and the Per - Capita Grant Funds. Combined, these two Proposition 40 funding sources will provide the City of Moorpark with $306,621 in park improvement funds. 1. Roberti- Z'Berg- Harris Grant: $220,000 2. Per Capita Grant: $86,621 Important facts about the grant funds include: • Grantees must have fully executed contracts for their Per - Capita and Roberti- Z'Berg- Harris Grant projects by June 30, 2006. All approved projects must be completed by June 30, 2011, or the funds will revert to the Legislature. • Per Capita grants are for capital outlay only, including property acquisition and development. Grantees may spend M: \MLindley \PARKS \Prop 40 Resolutions ccagd.doc f� Proposition 12 Resolutions Page 2 up to 250 of the funds for non - construction costs, including grant administration, plans, and permits. • The Per Capita Grants do not require a match, whereas the Roberti- Z'Berg- Harris Grant requires a 30% match. Prior to applying for the per capita grant funds identified above, the City must adopt the attached resolutions (Attachments A and B respectively) addressing both the Roberti- Z'Berg- Harris Grant and the Per - Capita Grant. The Resolutions state that the City approves future filings for grant funds, certifies that the City will have sufficient funds to operate and maintain the improvements it constructs using grant funds, indicates that the City understands the grant procedures, and appoints the City Manager as the designated position to conduct all negotiations and execute and sign all documents. Once the adopted Resolutions are filed with the state, the City will receive a contract for the funds. Upon execution of the contract, the City's funds will be encumbered and Moorpark will have up to June 30, 2011, to complete its projects. Staff will return to the Council at a future date to discuss the use of the funds for park improvement projects including the proposed purchase of Gilser Cullen Trust property on Poindexter Avenue to expand Poindexter Park.
