RECOMMENDATION:
1. Approve the attached resolution (Attachment 1) for the submittal of a grant application to the
Urban Greening Grant Program Under the Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality and Supply,
Flood Control, River and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2006 (Proposition 84), for the
Brentwood Park Development Project.
2. Authorize the Department of Public Services Director as the City's authorized

BACKGROUND:
Competitive grant applications for the Urban Greening Grant Program are due on July 1, 2011. The
Urban Greening Grant Program provides funds to preserve, enhance, increase or establish
community green space in California. The grant program is administered by the State of
California's Strategic Growth Council.
Brentwood Park is a neighborhood park which services residents and businesses within '/2 mile
radius of the site. In March of 2007, the City of Costa Mesa acquired a 1.2 acre parcel adjacent to
the existing 1.45 acre Brentwood Park. The acquired 1.2 acre parcel had previously been operated
as a private elementary school. The site included a small parking lot, an office building, classrooms
and a swimming pool. The City demolished the existing buildings and incorporated the land into the
existing Brentwood Park. A master plan for the now 2.65 acre Brentwood Park was developed by
staff, a design consultant, and the community. Phase I of the plan was completed in September
2010 with the installation of an irrigation system, turf and forty-five trees.
ANALYSIS:
The grant application to the California Strategic Growth Council will request funding of $975,000
for the completion of the Brentwood Park Master Plan. The project includes the development of
a decomposed granite path, native landscaping and irrigation, decorative paving, lighting, play
areas, exercise stations, a shade structure and picnic area. If grant funding is approved
construction may begin in early 2012. 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:
No City funding match 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 Urban
Greening Grant Program Under the Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality and Supply, Flood
Control, River and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2006 (Proposition 84), for the Brentwood
Park Development Project and designate the Public Services Director as the City's authorized
representative.
