REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Sean Joyce, Interim City Manager
VIA: Chris Slama, Director of Community & Library Services
PREPARED BY: Elaine Kuhnke, Senior Administrative Analyst
Subiect:
Request to approve funding of $250,000 from the Park Development Impact Fund for
installation of new playground equipment and rubberized surfacing at Booster Park
Statement of Issue:
Staff requests City Council authorization to appropriate $250,000 from the Park Development Impact
Fund toward the installation of new playground equipment and rubberized surfacing at Booster Park
in Fiscal Year 2021-2022.
Financial Impact:
A budget appropriation of$250,000 from the Park Development Impact Fund is requested since this
project is not included in the FY 2021/22 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) budget.
Recommended Action:
Authorize the appropriation of $250,000 from the Park Development Impact Fund to account
22845029.82900 for the installation of new playground equipment and rubberized surfacing at
Booster Park.
Alternative Action(s):
Do not approve the recommended action and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
Following a recent safety inspection by the Public Works Department, it was determined that the
playground equipment at Booster Park needed to be removed due to its aged condition and the
inability to order replacement parts. It was also observed that the rubberized surfacing had
deteriorated in some locations, creating further need to renovate the area. Improvements to the
playground were initially scheduled to be requested as part of the FY 2022/23 CIP. However, due to
the unexpected need to remove the playground equipment and high community usage of playground
equipment, staff is requesting that the funds be appropriated now, so the equipment may be ordered

Booster Park is a mini-park in Huntington Harbour located at 16861 Baruna Lane on Davenport
Island. The park is popular and is within walking distance of Harbour residents. In addition to the
recently removed playground equipment, amenities include a half-court basketball court and open
grass area, making the park a highly frequented location for the surrounding community.
Booster Park is on the City Council Approved Amended Park Playground and Equipment
Replacement Priority List (3/18/19).
Environmental Status:
The installation of new playground equipment at Booster Park is categorically exempt from CEQA
pursuant to Section 15302 of the CEQA Guidelines because the project consists of the replacement
of existing structures where the new structure will be located on the same site as the structure
replaced and will have substantially the same purpose and capacity.
