File #: 19-950 MEETING DATE: 9/16/2019
REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Dave Kiff, Interim City Manager
PREPARED BY: Antonia Graham, Assistant to the City Manager
Subject:
Adopt Resolution No. 2019-58 approving application(s) for specified Grant Funds and
appropriate $1.7 million from the State Department of Parks and Recreation for the
Rehabilitation of the Blufftop Path
Statement of Issue:
In 2018, City staff began working with Assembly Member Cottie Petrie-Norris' office on a budget
request to fund the rehabilitation of the Blufftop Path. The City had previously submitted this project
as a grant application through the Active Transportation Program, but was unsuccessful in receiving
grant funds. This Council Action is a requirement from the State Parks and Recreation Department
and the City cannot receive funds until a Resolution has been adopted by the City Council.
Financial Impact:
This budget request from the State of California does not require the City to expend any matching
funds and will be used solely for the rehabilitation of the Blufftop Path.
Recommended Action:
A) Adopt Resolution No. 2019-58, "Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Approving Application(s) for Specified Grant Funds;" and,
B) Appropriate $1.7 million upon receipt of Specified Grant Funds from the Department of Parks and
Recreation.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not adopt the Resolution and decline the funds from the State Parks and Recreation Department.
Analvsis:
In 2018, City staff along with the City's State Advocate Townsend Public Affairs began working with
Assembly Member Cottie Petrie-Norris to obtain funding for the Blufftop Path. The project was
submitted twice for consideration to the Department of Transportation for funding through the Active
Transportation Program but never successful in obtaining funding.

Through the State's budget, process the City has been allocated $1.7 million to improve facilities
along a portion of the existing multi-use path (known as the Blufftop Path). The project is expected to
include substantial improvements to the path, pedestrian facilities, landscaping and safety railing
along the path and the area leading up to it between 6th Street and Seapoint Street. The
improvements are expected to enhance overall capacity and safety of the path and adjacent areas
for users along with addressing key landscaping and turf issues near the path. The Blufftop Path is
part of the City's and State's coastal multi-use trail system and connects with the Santa Ana River
Trail and San Gabriel River Trail.
Staff will work with the Department of Parks and Recreation to submit a grant application and
agreement to formally accept the budgeted funds. There is no matching requirement.
Environmental Status:
Staff has reviewed the subject request and determined it to be categorically exempt from the
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Section 15306 because the project involves
information collection, which does not result in a major disturbance to an environmental resource.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Enhance and maintain infrastructure

Approving Application(s) for Specified Grant Funds"
