The criteria and matching requirements were revised in 1984 through passage of AB 737 (Harris). The Harris Amendment to the program changes the matching requirements to 70% State/30% local instead of 75% and 25%. One-third of the local match must now come from private or nonstate sources, unless waived. The intent of the program is to meet the most urgent and unmet recreational needs in California, with emphasis on unmet needs in the most heavily populated and most economically disadvantaged areas within each jurisdiction. Urban local governments receive the greatest portion of the available funds (83%) as block grants. 17% of the annual appropriation is awarded through a competitive process based on need. Nonurban jurisdictions compete for the majority of those needs -basis funds. Block grant applications may be submitted beginning May 1, 1989 and you must have a signed agreement by June 30, 1990 or the funds revert back to the State. Staff recommends that these grant funds be allocated for the renovation of Shannon Park. This recommendation is based on the following: 1. This project meets the criteria established by the State and it is the only park project currently scheduled for FY89-90. 2. This grant program requires a 30% local match with one-third of the match coming from private or non -state sources. Shannon Park is utilizing General Fund monies which qualify for the local match as well as EBRPD Grant monies which qualify for the private or non -state match. Attached are the completed applications for each of funding sources (Proposition 70 and Proposition 99). It is the recommendation of staff that the Park and Recreation Commission approve the project and direct staff to submit the applications for approval by the City Council.
