DESCRIPTION On June 7 , 1988 the voters of California passed Proposition 70 , the California Wildlife, Coastal and Park - Land Conservation , Bond Act of 1988 . Proposition 70 authorizes funds for six (6 ) grant programs available to local jurisdictions and administered by the Califorl;iia Department of Parks and Recreation. Those programs are: 1 ; Special Districts Grant Program 2 . Trails Grant Program 3 . Per Capita Grant Program 4. Roberti-Z 'berg-Harris Open Space Grant Program 5 . Specified Local Agencies Grant Program 6 . Historical Preservation Grant Program Under the Per Capita Grant Program there is $120 million available to cities , counties , park and recreation districts , regional park districts , open space districts and other qualifying districts for acquisition, development, rehabilitation or restoration of recreation lands and/or facilities . This program provides one-time grants based on population. Minimum grants in the amount of $20 ,000 are available to small cities and districts (estimated to be about 7 ,500 population or less ) . Minimum grants of $100 ,000 are available to small counties ( estimated to be about 70 ,000 population or less ) . The funds may be appropriated over a three-year period beginning July 1 , 1989 . Dublin ' s allocation under this program is $66 , 000 . Applications for the first-year deadline is January 13', 1989 . Therefore it is necessary to determine an appropriate project where the funds can be utilized. As noted above, eligible projects include acquisition, development/rehabilitation and/or historical preservation. Under the provisions of the Act, the project must be started within three years of the date that the funds are available. Additionally, the proposed project must be consistent with the park and recreation plan for the applicant ' s jurisdiction and must satisfy a high priority need. The Park and Recreation Commission considered appropriate projects for the grant funds at their December 13 , 1988 meeting. The Commission concurred with staffs recommendation to apply the funds to the Shannon Park Renovation. The total estimated cost for the project is $934 , 324 . Of this amount, $847 ,925 in funding is coming out of the Citys General Fund. By applying the $66 ,000 in grant funding towards this project, this will reduce the amount of funds needed from the General Fund. Therefore it is the recommendation of staff and the Park and Recreation Commission that the City Council take the following action: 1 . Approve application for grant funds as shown in Exhibit A. 2 . Authorize the Mayor to execute the resolution as shown in Exhibit B. T'PPM Nf 41 .x+. ?"
