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. 1985-86 REGIONAL COM. Page 2 Dctober 29, 1984 .'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.
