The funds will be utilized for the resurfacing of the Hilleary Park playground. The proposed Resolution authorizes the execution of the Standard Agreement. Implementation of the project requires an appropriation of $82,550 from the Unappropriated General Fund Balance to Capital Improvement Project (CIP) 1698B Playground Renovation, which will be reimbursed by the grant. The project and payment request must be completed by September 30, 2016. Recommended Action: It is recommended that the City Council approve the Resolution and appropriate $82,550 from the Unappropriated General Fund balance to Capital Improvement Project (CIP) 1698B, to be reimbursed by the Housing - Related Parks Program Grant. Background: The Housing - Related Parks Grant Program provides funding for local park enhancements to jurisdictions that have recently approved housing for lower- income households, and are in compliance with the State Housing Element law. In September 2012, the City received a grant for $200,850 which was utilized for the following improvements at Community Park: construction of a new gazebo and picnic area, bocce court drainage improvements, renovation of the east and west ball fields, painting of the Community Swim Center, and Poway Senior Center operable wall replacement. 1 of 12 December 2, 2014 Item # 0 Execution of the Agreement for the Housing - Related Parks Program Grant December 2, 2014 Page 2 In January 2014, the City applied for the next round of grant funding. We received notification in July that the City had been awarded a grant for $82,550 for the resurfacing of the playground at Hilleary Park, located at 13500 Community Road. Findings: The Department of Housing and Community Development requests a resolution stating the amount of the grant and authorizing the execution of the Standard Agreement. The City is allowed to encumber funds against the grant award immediately upon execution of the Standard Agreement. The term begins on the date the agreement is fully executed and ends September 30, 2016. To implement the project, it is necessary to advance funds from the Unappropriated General Fund balance into a capital improvement project, to be reimbursed by the Housing - Related Parks Program Grant. Capital Improvement Project (CIP) 1698 is an existing project that provides funding for playground renovations at various City parks. The funds will be appropriated to CIP 1698B specifically for the playground renovation at Hilleary Park. Fiscal Impact: This action authorizes an appropriation of $82,550 from the Unappropriated General Fund Balance (100 -8912) to CIP account 1698B, to be reimbursed by the Housing - Related Parks Grant.
