Traffenstedt, ATCM /City Clerk J� DATE: March 4, 2003 (Special CC Meeting of 3/5/03) SUBJECT: Consider Ordinance Amending Title 10, Vehicles and Traffic, by Adding New Chapter 10.20, Skateboard, Motorized Skateboard, Motorized Scooter, Roller Skate and In -Line Skate Regulations BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION Staff has prepared the attached draft ordinance in response to a request by Mayor Hunter. The ordinance, if approved, would add a new chapter to Title 10 of the Municipal Code and would permit prohibition of the use of skateboards, motorized skateboards, motorized scooters, roller skates and in -line skates on both public and private property where notice has been provided through the use of stenciled signage on sidewalks or other paved surfaces and the use of posted signs at all entrances to a property. The minimum size specified for the notice sign in the draft ordinance is based on the size required by the Vehicle Code when a city or county finds and declares that there are privately owned and maintained off - street parking facilities for which the Vehicle Code will be enforced. The intent was to provide signage consistency so as to ensure enforcement consistency. The attached ordinance has been drafted with similar language to existing code sections for the cities of Camarillo and Thousand Oaks. If the ordinance is introduced for first reading at the March 5 Special Meeting, second reading could be scheduled for the regular City Council meeting on March 19, 2003. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Introduce Ordinance No. for first reading and waive full reading of the ordinance. Attachment: Draft Ordinance 06;cj�)(;i ORDINANCE NO.

Request for Proposals: Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy Proposition 40 Matching Grant Program Dear Local Governments and Non - profit organizations: GRAY DAVIS, Governor The Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy is pleased to invite you make an application for its Proposition 40 Matching Grant Program.

For projects to be considered at the Conservancy's April 28, 2003 meeting a complete proposal must received by mail or overnight delivery no later than 5 pm on April 16, 2003. Faxed copies and hand delivery are not acceptable. Applications must be addressed to Paul Edelman at the above address in Ramirez Canyon Park. "Three copies of the grant proposal must be included. The definition of "cash match" for this program is straightforward. Any cash match, no matter the source(s), that will directly contribute to the defined project qualifies as dollar for dollar match. Cash matches for planning, surveys, construction drawings, appraisals, title reports and other direct costs are limited to fifteen percent of the total project cost. All such costs and expenditures must be individually described and accounted for in each proposal. In kind services are too difficult to define and shall not qualify as direct matching funds. Bargain sales for land acquisitions shall not qualify as cash match but shall be given strong consideration in the evaluation of proposals. Staff also recommends that eligible projects must be on either the Conservancy's adopted Land Acquisition Workprogram or Park Improvements Workprogram. Consideration would only be made to add a project to either Workprogram if the project's merits and feasibility were outstanding and it was accompanied by a minimum cash match of seventy -five percent. Minimum Requirements An applicant must be either a 501(c)(3) non - profit organization or a local government entity. Projects must be located in either the Santa Monica Mountains Zone or the Rim of the Valley Trail Corridor. Applications must demonstrate a minimum of fifty percent cash match as defined above. Projects must be on the Conservancy's adopted Acquisition or Improvement Workprograms. These two Workprograms are blended into a unified list on the Conservancy's web page at www.smmc.ca.,ov If a proposed project is not contained in either of these documents, the proposal must include a detailed rationale making the case to add the project to either Workprogram. Any project added to either Workprogram must include a seventy -five percent cash match. The applicant's organization must submit a resolution stating that it will fully comply with the Santa Monica Mountains Comprehensive Plan if the said project is located in the original Santa Monica Mountains Zone. This resolution can be submitted later but is a prerequisite to the preparation of a grant agreement. The applicant must be willing to enter into a grant agreement with the Conservancy. Such agreement will include conditions both requiring acknowledgment of the Conservancy's contribution on project signage and incorporating any other State conditions of Proposition 40 such as signage and audits. Both improvement projects and acquisition projects must include all the Assessor's Parcel Numbers of any properties involved in the project. Call for Projects Conservancy Proposition 40 Matching Grant Program February 20, 2003 Page 3 Proposals must include a detailed discussion of how the project will be maintained. Other Information There is no set format on how the proposals should be organized. Project readiness will be looked upon favorably. The possession of a completed current appraisal, a signed purchase and sale agreement, site renderings, or construction ready plans all pertain to project readiness. The extent to which this information can be included in the packages would be advantageous. Proposals should focus on how the project will guarantee delivery of recreational, ecological, historical, cultural and /or environmental educational resources and will advance the Conservancy's mission. Cash matches greater than fifty percent are encouraged. Proposals may include the use of up to seven percent of the grant award for administrative purposes.
