REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Oliver Chi, City Manager
PREPARED BY: Chris Slama, Director of Community & Library Services
Subject:
Adopt Resolution No. 2021-20 (Carr Park Renovation) approving the application for Statewide
Park Development and Community Revitalization program Grant Funds to the State of
California Department of Parks and Recreation for Carr Park
Statement of Issue:
There is a need for City Council to approve Resolution No. 2021-20 for a grant application for the
Carr Park project under Round 4 of the Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization
Program. (SPP)
Financial Impact:
As stated in the attached resolution, the City must certify that it has, or will have available, prior to
commencement of any work on the proposed projects, sufficient funds to complete the project. Per
the adopted FY 2020/21 budget, the projected Park Fund balance as of June 30, 2021, is
approximately $ 4.7 million. These funds are sufficient to cover the 10% match requirement of
$294,250 for the project. Should the City be awarded the Prop 68 grants, another Request for
Council Action (RCA) to accept the grant award and appropriate the funds will be submitted for City
Council approval.
Recommended Action:
Adopt Resolution 2021-20, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Approving the Application for Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program
Funds (Carr Park Renovation)."
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the recommended action and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
In June of 2018, the State passed the Parks and Water Bond Act of 2018. (Proposition 68). The
Bond includes per capita and competitive grant opportunities for municipalities, park districts and non

-profit agencies. Under the competitive category, Proposition 68 included the Statewide Park
Development and Community Revitalization Program Grant Funds. (SPP) Under Round 3 of the
program, the City applied for three projects - including renovations at Carr Park. While the City was
unsuccessful in receiving grant funds, the State Office of Grants and Local Services has advised that
we can resubmit projects from Round 3 of the grant program. Staff feels that the improvements at
Carr Park are still needed and meet the eligibility requirements of the SPP in terms of the lack of
open space in the surrounding community, the environmental enhancement and the special
population served. Carr Park is also listed in the current Parks and Recreation Master Plan and City
Council approved Playground Equipment Replacement Priority List for needed renovations.
As part of the grant application process, each project requires separate Authorizing Resolutions to be
adopted by City Council. The State requires that specific language be included in the resolutions.
Staff has worked through the City Attorney's Office to review and prepare the resolution for Carr Park
(attached).
The estimated cost for this project is S2.942,500. If awarded the grant, the City would be required to fund a
10% match of the total project cost from Park Development Impact Fee Funds for this project at a total of
5294.250.
Should the City be awarded this grant, a separate action will be taken to City Council to accept the
grant award and appropriate the funds.
Environmental Status:
If awarded, this project will go through the appropriate environmental review as determined by the
Entitlement process.
