1993 CALIFORNIA TRADE ~ COMMERCE GRANT APPLICATION
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 93-108
approving the following actions:
le
Approve the filing of an application to the California Trade
and Commerce Agency for a California Defense Adjustment
Matching Grant to offset planning costs associated with the
City's development of a reuse plan for Marine Corps Air
Station (MCAS), Tustin;
·
Appoint the Assistant City Manager or her authorized
representative as the agent to apply, approve, sign and
execute in the name of the City of Tustin any documents
necessary for applying for funding under the California Trade
and Commerce Agency's Defense Adjustment Matching Grant
Program and for entering into an agreement, including any
amendments thereto, with the Trade and Commerce Agency in the
event that funding is awarded under that program.
FISCAL IMPACT
If approved, the proposed grant request would reimburse the City of
Tustin for $84,925 (50%) of its estimated costs ($169,855)
associated with the development of the MCAS, Tustin reuse plan.
Therefore, significant savings to the General Fund could be
realized if the City were to receive approval for this grant
request.
BACKGROUND
The California Trade and Commerce Agency has recently created the
California Defense Adjustment Matching Grant Program providing
funding for cities and counties impacted by cutbacks in defense
spending and military base closure. These funds are intended to
offset local government federal grant assistance matching fund
requirements associated with the development of military base reuse
plans and other defense conversion programs.

On July 24, 1992, the City of Tustin formally received an award of
$750,000 and more recently applied and will be receiving a $88,500
grant from the federal Office of Economic Adjustment for community
planning assistance necessary for the development of a reuse plan
for the Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS), Tustin, approved for
closure by the President and Congress of the United States in 1991.
The Office of Economic Adjustment grants required that the City
commit to fund a portion of the cost associated the development of
the base reuse plan required for the closure of MCAS, Tustin, the
cost of which is currently estimated at approximately $169,855.
$84,925 (50%) of the City's costs associated with these efforts
qualify for reimbursement through the California Defense Adjustment
Matching Grant Program. However, a condition of application is
that the City Council formally authorize the filing of an
application for the reimbursement of these costs and appoint an
authorized representative to apply, approve, sign and execute
documents in the name of the City of Tustin.
CONCLUSION
Staff recommends that the Tustin City Council adopt Resolution No.
93-108 to provide the authorization needed to apply for and receive
these grant funds.
