DISCUSSION
On February 3, 2015, by Resolution 2015-017 Council authorized staff to apply for a State of California Housing-Related Parks (HRP) Program Grant and enter into an agreement if the application was approved. On February 5, 2015, the City applied for a grant award of $1,010,000 and on November 6, 2015, was awarded $775,925 for improvements to the existing Parkway Community Center, Parkway pool and Memorial Park playground and irrigation. The grant application set for the following project cost breakdown:
|
Pool Resurfacing |
$200,000.00 |
|
Pool Deck Improvements |
$110,000.00 |
|
Rain Gutter Improvements |
$50,000.00 |
|
Roof Upgrade & Painting |
$350,000.00 |
|
Restroom & shower upgrades |
$300,000.00 |
|
Total |
$1,010,000.00 |
On November 3, 2015, and December 15, 2015, by Resolutions 2015-252 and 2015-286, respectively, Council authorized contracts for the replacement of the Parkway gymnasium/pool roof and rain gutter improvements using State of California Housing-Related Parks (HRP) Program grant obtained on September 10, 2012 and one-time funding from the TUT Common Fund. The roof and rain gutter improvement work was completed on March 3, 2016. This allows the monies designated for roof and rain gutter improvements in the November 6, 2015 grant to be directed to other needs at the facility. The scope outlined in the original grant was amended to account for the completed work and match the November 6, 2015 grant amount as follows:
|
Pool Resurfacing & ADA Ramp |
$250,000.00 |
|
Pool Deck Improvements |
$75,000.00 |
|

$75,925.00 |
|

$75,000.00 |
|

$100,000.00 |
|
Painting, Various Site and ADA Upgrades |
$200,000.00 |
|
Total |
$775,925.00 |
The revised scope was developed through discussions with the Director of Public Works, Director of Recreation, and the Building Inspection Manager to make the best use of the available funds. The projected costs are approximate; as the project is further developed, the budget for some items may need to be adjusted and some items may need to be eliminated. The amended scope was submitted to the State of California Department of Housing and Community Development.
DECISION-MAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the property holdings of the City Council members and has found no property holdings within 500 feet of the boundaries of the property which is the subject of this action. Consequently, this item does not present a disqualifying real property-related financial conflict of interest under California Code of Regulations Title 2, section 18702.2(a)(11), for purposes of the Political Reform Act (Cal. Gov’t Code §87100,et seq.).
Staff is not independently aware, and has not been informed by any City Council member, of any other fact that may constitute a basis for a decision maker conflict of interest in this matter.
LINK TO STRATEGIC GOALS
The City’s Strategic Plan has five major goals: Operational Excellence, Economic Vitality, Healthy Community, Strong and Secure Neighborhoods and a Connected Community. The Parkway Community Center and Pool Improvements project supports the Healthy Community goal as it seeks to improve physical education and recreation opportunities.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL IMPACT
Approval of the resolution will appropriate $775,925 in Housing-Related Parks (HRP) Program Grant Funds to CIP GG228 for improvements associated with Parkway Community Center and Memorial Park. The HRP Grant does not reimburse staff costs associated with administering the project representing a nominal impact to the General Fund.
ONGOING FISCAL IMPACT
The improvements will require only routine City maintenance.
