FILE NUMBER
Adopt a resolution authorizing the submittal of an Urban Greening Grant application in the amount
of $595,600 for the urban greening of Center Street at Jerome Park.
DISCUSSION
On April 2013, the Parks, Recreation and Community Services Agency submitted a preliminary
concept application under the Urban Greening Grant program to remove a portion of Center Street,
adjacent to Jerome Park, and to renovate the area with drought tolerant landscaping (Exhibit 1).
The City was notified on August 26, 2013 that the preliminary application is eligible to compete
under this grant program. A resolution is required authorizing the submittal of the full application.
The proposed project will include removal of 500 linear feet of roadway that was officially vacated
by City Council in 1994. The area will be re-graded with contour changes, installation of a bio-
Swale to percolate any street water runoff, permeable or decomposed granite walkway, drought
tolerant native planting, drip irrigation, architectural bollards, and interpretive signage on water
conservation, and bike racks. A pedestrian walkway will also be installed to connect the east and
west ball fields.
FISCAL IMPACT
The grant will require $20,000 matching funds that are available in cell tower expenditure account
(no. 05113263 66220).
