BACKGROUND:
Competitive grant applications for the LWCF Grant -in -Aid Program are due on November 1, 2010.
LWCF provides matching grants for the development of outdoor recreation facilities.
ANALYSIS:
The grant application to the LWCF program will request funding of $275,000 with the City
matching $275,000 of future Park Development Funds for a total project cost of $550,000.
Funding will be used for the design and construction of elements of the approved Brentwood
Park Master Plan and will pay for the construction of decomposed granite trails, landscaping,
decorative paving, biological filtration canal (bio-swale), picnic tables, and lighting.
If grant funding is approved, construction must be completed by Fiscal Year 2013-14. To apply for
these grant funds a resolution approving the filing of an application and naming the Public Services
Director as the City's authorized representative is needed.
ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
If the Council chooses not to submit a grant application for this project, staff will continue to pursue
other grant programs and alternative funding.
FISCAL REVIEW:
A City match of $275,000 is required for this grant program.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The proposed resolution is approved as to form.
CONCLUSION:
It is recommended that the Council approve the filing of a grant application with the Land and
Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) Grant -in -Aid Program for the Brentwood Park Development
Project and authorize the Public Services Director as the City's representative.
