RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Resolution No. 00-2 to support an application for a Tire Recycling Grant from the California
Inte~ated Waste Management Board for playground surfacing at Frontier Park.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Funding in the amount of $290,000 for the renovation of Frontier Park is proposed in the Parks and
Recreation Department Seven-year Capital Improvement Program. The proposed appropriation
includes $150,000 in Capital Improvement Funding, $20,000 from the Park Development Fund,
$70,000 Community Block Grant Funding and $50,000 in Redevelopment Agency funding. Tire
Recycling Grant Applicants may request up to $25,000 which would allow the City .to expand the
scope of improvements during renovation. The City would provide matching funds equaling 50%
of the total playground surfacing cost.
BACKGROUND:
Recent improvements to Frontier Park included a new restroom building and shade trellis in
1999. The Parks and Recreation Commission identified replacement of landscaping and tot lot
equipment and the installation of a 16,000 s.f. skateboard park for development in Frontier Park
Phase II. The project was included in the Parks and Recreation Department seven year Capital
Improvement Program for completion in FY 2001/2002. To qualify for funding projects must be
completed by April 1, 2002.
The City's ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) 1990 Self Evaluation and Transition Plan
identified that the play equipment and surfacing at the park does not comply with recommended
ADA or Consumer Product Safety Commission's guidelines. The report called for the'
replacement of the surfacing material whenever funds became available.
The Tire recycling Act authorized the Califomia Integrated Waste Management Board to award
grants for the purpose of diverting tires from landfill disposal by promoting markets for recycled
tires. The Parks and Recreation Department identified an eligible project for playgrgund
surfacing in conjunction with the renovation of Frontier Park Phase II. A matching fund grant
would allow the City to expand the scope of the project. Grant recipients will be notified of
awards during May 2000.
