DISCUSSION
On November 2006, California voters passed Proposition 84, a $5.4 billon "Safe Drinking Water,
Water Quality and Supply, Flood Control, River and Coastal Protection Bond Act. The bond act will
provide $70 million in grant funding for urban greening projects that reduce energy consumption,
conserve water, improve air and water quality and provide community benefit. The $70 million is
divided into three rounds of grant opportunities. The first round of applications is due on April 30,
2010.
The shuffleboard club at Birch Park disbanded years ago and attempts to reorganize the use of the
shuffleboard courts has not been successful. Current focus of the park districts and grants has been
in the area of educating the public on water conservation, drought tolerant planting, gardening,
fighting obesity, exercising etc. Changing the shuffleboard area into gardening opportunities and
providing classes for the seniors creates an outdoor program at this center.
Staff is requesting permission to apply for the Urban Green Grant to remove portions of the
shuffleboard court to develop an outdoor gardening class area for the seniors. Meetings with the
seniors will be held to finalize the conceptual plan for this program. A tentative plan was prepared in
order to apply for the grant funding.
