Adopt a resolution authorizing the submittal of a grant application in the amount of $150,000 to the Land and Water Conservation Fund Program for the Santiago Park Picnic Area Development Project in Santiago Park. DISCUSSION The State of California Department of Parks and Recreation is accepting grant applications for the Land and Water Conservation Fund Program (LWCF). The LWCF Program was established through federal legislation in 1965 and has been instrumental in the development of parks throughout the United States. To date, the amount of the State's apportionment for this year is still unknown. Of the State annual allotment for this program, 60 percent of funds are reserved for local agencies. Sixty percent of these funds are awarded to Southern California projects and the remaining 40 percent is reserved for Northern California projects. The LWCF Grant Fund requires a 50 percent match of non-federal money, with an exception made for Community Development Block Grant funds. Applications are due on March 3, 2008. Approval of the recommended action would authorize submittal of two grant applications under the LWCF program. The first is the Cabrillo Park Picnic Area Development Project which consists of the removal of a deteriorated tennis court and the installation of landscaping, irrigation, picnic shelters, pads and furniture. The second is the Santiago Park Picnic Area Development Project which includes the installation of landscaping, irrigation, decomposed granite walkways, picnic pads and furniture. Park Acquisition and Development funds received in District 2 will be used to satisfy the 50 percent match requirement for each project. 55A-1 Land and Water Conservation Fund Resolutions March 3, 2008 Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with this action. i¢R~---S~' /'Z Gerardo Mouet Executive Dire f or Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency 55A-2 Resolution No. 2008- A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA APPROVING THE APPLICATION FOR LAND AND WATER CONSERVATION FUNDS TO DEVELOP THE PICNIC AREA AT CABRILLO PARK 0211081ss BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SANTA ANA AS FOLLOWS: Section 1.
