The Annual Action Plan is the document <br />whereby the City formally applies to HUD for the annual federal grant allocations and describes <br />how those grant funds will be utilized. This plan approved the allocation of Community <br />Development Block Grant (CDBG) funding to the Roosevelt/Walker Community Center and Park <br />Project in the amount of $689,261 to supplement a $5,000,000 grant from the State of California. <br />However, following a competitive bid process for the project, additional funding in the amount of <br />$1,420,000 is needed to undertake construction of the project. <br />On June 20, 2011 City Council adopted a resolution authorizing staff to apply for a Proposition 84 <br />"Safe Drinking Water, Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control, River and Coastal Protection <br />Bond Act" grant. The City was awarded the grant in the amount of $5,000,000 to develop park <br />improvements at Roosevelt Elementary School. Improvements will include a 10,000 sq. ft. <br />21A-1 <br />
