ID CS 13-007 Page 1 of 2 Meeting Date:8/5/2013 CITY OF HUNTINGTON BEACH REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION MEETING DATE: 8/5/2013 SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members SUBMITTED BY: Fred A. Wilson, City Manager PREPARED BY: Janeen Laudenback, Interim Director of Community Services SUBJECT: Approve submittal of an application to the State for funding of new playground equipment at Harbour View and Newland Parks Statement of Issue: There is a need to provide new playground equipment at Harbour View Park and Newland Park in order to comply with current access and safety guidelines. Staff is seeking City Council approval to submit an application to utilize remaining grant funds from the 2002 State Park Bond to purchase and install new play equipment. Financial Impact: The project will be funded using the balance of the City's 2002 Park Bond Per Capita and Roberti Z'Berg grant award. Available funds total $208,000, which is sufficient to cover the project cost. No General Fund dollars are required. Recommended Action: Approve the submittal of an additional application to the State for use of the $208,000 in available funds from the 2002 State Park Bond Per Capita and Roberti Z'Berg Grant awards for the purchase and installation of new playground equipment at Harbour View Park and Newland Park. Alternative Action(s): Do not approve the proposed submittal of the application and direct staff accordingly. Analysis: In 1997, the Community Services Commission approved a policy to replace the playground equipment at all city parks to conform to Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) requirements. Commission also approved standardized play unit designs for all parks. Since that time, the majority of park playgrounds have received new equipment. Many of the parks received new equipment with funding from the 2000 Park Bond Act. Due to funding limitations with the 2000 Park Bond, the play units at Harbour View Park and Newland Park were not replaced. At the time, the units at these two locations were in good condition and met all safety and access standards. However, over time the play equipment at both parks has become worn and in need of replacement. Currently, there is only one unit remaining at Newland Park, and the play unit at Harbour View Park had to be removed due to safety concerns. The playground at Harbour View Park is without any play equipment. As part of the 2002 State Park Bond, the City received $1.8 million in grant funds under the Per Capita and,Roberti Z'Berg programs. The Community Services Commission and City Council Item 5. - I xB -98- Dept. ID CS 13-007 Page 2 of 2 Meeting Date:8/5/2013 approved utilizing these funds to complete Phase I of the Edison Park Youth Sports Complex project. Phase I has been completed and $208,000 in grant funds remain available to the City. Based on previous communications with the State Grants Office, any unused funding would not be available to the City. However, staff received confirmation from the State that remaining funds can be used for other park and recreation development projects. Staff has discussed the play equipment replacement with the State Grant Officer assigned to Huntington Beach and have preliminarily been informed that the project will comply with grant guidelines under the 2002 Park Bond. The Community Services Commission also approved a recommendation to City Council to expend the remaining grant funds for replacing the play equipment on April 10, 2013. Staff is recommending City Council approval to submit a formal application to the State requesting approval to expend the remaining funds of $208,000 from the 2002 Park Bond to replace the play equipment at Harbour View Park and Newland Park. Staff has received designs for each location (Attachment 1) that are in-line with the City's standard design and meet all current ADA and CSPC guidelines. New play units and rubber surfacing for both playgrounds can be purchased and installed within the $208,000 budget. The proposed design for Harbour View Park includes the standard "B" and "C" units for the 5 — 12 year-old and 2 — 5 year-old range respectively (Attachment 2). The recommended design for Newland Park includes a standard "B" and "C" unit, and swing unit (Attachment 3). Staff will be required to process the project through the State Grants Office. Environmental Status: The project is exempt pursuant to Section 15302 of the CEQA Guidelines because the project consists of replacement of existing playground equipment in the same location and with substantially the same purpose and capacity as the removed equipment.
