RECOMMENDED ACTION
Adopt a resolution authorizing the submittal of a grant application in
the amount of $38,000 to the California Department of Parks and
Recreation Recreational Trail Program for the Fisher Park Nature Trail
Project.
DISCUSSION
The Recreational Trails Program is a state-administered local assistance
program of the United States Department of Transportation's Federal
Highway Administration (FHA). The FHA provides funds annually to trail-
related facilities within California. Approximately $6 million will be
available this funding cycle for non-motorized projects. The application
requires a 12-percent match of non-state money. The matching funds are
available in the City's park acquisition and development fund.
Applications are due on October I, 2008.
The Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency proposes to submit an
application for the Fisher Park Nature Trail Project. The Trail will be
developed near the butterfly and bird habi tat proposed alongside the
Santiago Creek in the southern edge of Fisher Park. The project scope
includes the installation of a decompose granite walking trail,
landscaping, irrigation and interpretive signage. The trail will provide
residents with recreational as well as educational opportunities at
Fisher Park.
