WEST, CITY MANAGER FROM: CHAD W. CLANTON, DIRECTOR, PARKS AND RECREATION SERVICES SUBJECT: APPLICATION FOR STATEWIDE PARK DEVELOPMENT AND COMMUNITY REVITALIZATION PROGRAM (PROPOSITION 68) GRANT FUNDS SUMMARY Authorization is requested to apply for Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program (Prop 68) grant funds administrated by the State of California Office of Grants and Local Services for the design and construction of public park amenities at Heideman Elementary School. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council: 1. Adopt Resolution No. 20-62 approving application for Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program (Prop 68) Grant funds to pay for the design and construction of public park amenities at Heideman Elementary School. FISCAL IMPACT The estimated cost to design and construct the public park amenities included in the grant application is $ 4.9 million. The full amount of this project will be requested in the grant application. There is no match requirement for this grant. CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN This recommendation advances Strategy 6 of Goal A in the City of Tustin Strategic Plan regarding Economic and Neighborhood Development by exploring opportunities for expanding recreational activities. BACKGROUND The Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program (SPP) is a State of California grant program that provides funds for the acquisition and development of public outdoor recreation areas and facilities. SPP gives priority to new parks that are located in areas that have a critical lack of park space and whose residents have a lower median household income. It is with these factors in mind that staff identified Heideman Elementary School as a potential site for a new park. After discussions were held with Tustin Unified School District (TUSD) staff, the decision was made to move forward with a project to convert the turf area in the back of the school to a park that will be open to the public on weekday evenings, weekends, and during the summer months. Between March and May 2019, staff held a series of park design workshops to gather input from neighborhood residents, TUSD officials, and the Tustin Police Department. This input DocuSign Envelope ID:2208DOB8-AD7E-40ED-9734-ABA55E78A9A7 was utilized to create the attached master plan developed by David Volz Designs, a landscape architect. The application deadline for the current (fourth) round of funding is December 14, 2020. Staff previously worked with a grant writing consultant (California Consulting, Inc.) to submit an application for this project in the third round of funding in August 2019. While that application was unsuccessful, staff will be able to use much of the same information in the current submission. Similar to the third round, grant funding is not guaranteed and the application process is expected to be highly competitive. The proposed grant application will request funding for the construction of a soccer/multi-purpose field with sports lighting, a park office/restroom building, a picnic shelter, a walking/running trail, a skate pod, two basketball courts, and an outdoor fitness area, along with standard park amenities like benches, passive walkway lighting, drinking fountains, and bike racks.
