BACKGROU~iD:
The RegiOnal Compe{itive Program is'a part of the California Park and
Recreation Facilities Act of 1984 known as Proposition 18, passed by the
.~8.5 million
voters in June, 1984. The Regional Competitive Program has ~
dollars available on a statewide basis this year and $25 million per year
~he following two years.
The Regional Competitive Program requires that projects must meet one of
the following requirements to be eligible.
^. Rehabilitation or restoration of existing facilities.
D. Development of facilities to serve urban populations.
C. Development of facilities which increase the grant recipients
revenue by expanding public recreation services.
Acquisition of new park and recreation sites, maintenance and operational
funds are not eligible. Adequate land tenure must be proved before a grant
application will be accepted. The land must be owned in fee simple, have a
long term lease agreement or a long term joint powers agreement. When a
site for the Senior Center is acquired, it will become an~excellent project
for the regional competitive grant program. The deadline for applications for
the 'first year of funding under the Regional Competitive program is November 5,
1984. A site for a Senior Center should be acquired in time to make it
eligible for competition in the second year of the program.

.'ITIVE GRANT PROGRAM
The Regiona~ Competitive Grant Pro9ram criteria are weighted to favor projects
which produce revenue, develop increased active recreation opportunities for
urban populations and further develop or renovate existing facilities through
cooperative efforts. It is because of these criteria that staff is proposing
to submit the Athletic Field Renovation and Lighting Project at Columbus
Tustin Park rather than the Northern section of Columbus Tustin Park adjacent
to Beneta Way.in the competition. The criteria make it very unlikely that
a new passive park development project would be selected for funding. Grant'
programs such as the Roberti Z'Berg Urban Open Space Program., which are not
selected on a competitive basis, remain as funding sources for projects such
as the Northern section of Columbus Tustin Park.
The Columbus Tustin Athletic Field Renovation and Lighting Project can meet
all three qualifying criteria for the Regional Competitive Program Grant. The
project will renovate turf and infield areas on fields #3 and #4, provide night
lighting and repair the backstops. The City currently operates two lighted
fields at Columbus Tustin. The fields are used primarily for adult activities
which always have a waiting list of participants.
Although some additional adult activities will be accommodated on fields #3
and #4 if they are lighted, the major benefit would be to youth sports in the
City. During the school year high school girls softball games would play
their games on the fields at night. A multi-use soccer/football field will
overlay the baseball outfields providing a site for night soccer and football
games.
Adult softball games during the summer months, weekend tournaments and rentals
would provide additional revenue to the City. The lighting system is designed
to be very energy efficient while maintaining a high quality level.
