Subject:
Adopt Resolution No. 2020-86 approving application for Per Capita Funds under the California
Drought, Parks, Climate, Coastal Protection, and Outdoor Access for All Act of 2018
Statement of Issue:
The California Department of Parks and Recreation requires City Council approval of the specified
language in the attached resolution in order to encumber funds allocated to the City of Huntington
Beach for the Per Capita Program of the California Drought, Parks, Climate, Coastal Protection, and
Outdoor Access for All Act of 2018 (Act).
Financial Impact:
Per the conditions of the Bond Act, the City will be responsible for providing a 20% match of the Per
Capita funding amount of$177,952 or of the actual amount of the approved project cost submitted by
the City. The estimated 20% match is $35,590 and will be funded through the City's Park
Development Impact Fee Fund 228.
Recommended Action:

Approving Application(s) for Per Capita Grant Funds."

Analysis:
The State of California, Department of Parks and Recreation has completed its allocation process for
the Per Capita Grant Program under the California Drought, Parks, Climate, Coastal Protection, and
Outdoor Access for All Act of 2018 (Act). Funds in the amount of$177,952 have been allocated to
the City of Huntington Beach under the Per Capita program. Community Services is anticipating
utilizing the funding for playground improvements at Sun View Park.
The Act is the first major park bond since 2002. Under the Per Capita program of the Act, the City
has been slated to receive $177,952. Per the conditions set by the Act, a funding match of 20% of
the approved project is required by each agency receiving funds - unless the project is located within

an area serving a severely disadvantaged community (defined as a community with a median
household income under 60 percent of the State average). Currently, there are no sections of the
City meeting that criteria.
While previous park bonds have allocated significantly higher amounts, the funds provided by the Act
will enable the City to address some of the outstanding needs in terms of parks and playground
improvements. Currently, such improvements are needed at Sun View Park. The play equipment is
over 20 years old. Replacement of the equipment as well as other site improvements are needed in
order to address accessibility issues at the park. Sun View is ranked high in terms of need on the
Playground Equipment Replacement Priority list approved by Council. Based on preliminary quotes,
funding from the Per Capita program along with the 20% match will be sufficient to cover the cost of
the project.
In order to comply with the conditions of the California Drought, Parks, Climate, Coastal Protection,
and Outdoor Access for All Act of 2018, staff is recommending City Council approval of the resolution
as presented.
Environmental Status:
Not applicable to this request. Projects being funded under the grant program will go through the
required environmental process as determined by the guidelines established by the State.
Strategic Plan Goal:
Enhance and maintain infrastructure
Attachment(s):
1) Adopt Resolution No. 2020-86, "A Resolution of the City Council of Huntington Beach
Approving Application(s) for Per Capita Grant Funds"
