REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
SUBMITTED TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
SUBMITTED BY: Al Zelinka, City Manager
VIA: Alvin Papa, Acting Director of Public Works
PREPARED BY: Sarah Whitecotton, Management Aide
Subject:
Adopt Resolution No. 2023-30 authorizing the application for grant funds from the State
Department of Parks and Recreation through the Habitat Conservation Fund Program
Statement of Issue:
Staff requests authorization to apply for grant funds under the Habitat Conservation Fund (HCF)
Program to restore and realign portions of the existing trail at the Shipley Nature Center.
Financial Impact:
The total estimated project cost, including design and construction, is $766,618. Staff is requesting
$383,309 in grant funds from the State Department of Parks and Recreation to restore a trail at the
Shipley Nature Center. If awarded a grant, the City will be responsible for providing 50% matching
funds totaling $383,309, which staff will request through a separate budget appropriation request at a
future City Council meeting.
Recommended Action:
Adopt Resolution 2023-30, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Huntington Beach
Approving the Application for Grant Funds from the Habitat Conservation Fund Program."
Alternative Action(s):
Do not adopt the resolution and direct staff accordingly.
Analysis:
The people of the State of California enacted the California Wildlife Protection Act of 1990, which
provides funds to the State of California for grants to local agencies to acquire, enhance, restore
and/or develop facilities for public recreation and fish and wildlife habitat protection purposes. The
HCF allocates approximately $2 million each year to cities, counties, and districts. Eligible projects
include nature interpretation programs to bring urban residents into park and wildlife areas, protection
of various plant and animal species, and acquisition and development of wildlife corridors and trails.

This year, the HCF has approximately $6.68 million available to award. The program requires all
grant award recipients to provide a 50% project cost match.
The City is collaborating with Friends of the Shipley Nature Center to submit a grant application to
restore the walking/hiking trail at the nature center. The collaboration includes cost sharing to hire a
professional grant writer for $9,000 each party or $18,000 total. The Shipley Nature Center Trail
Project would be classified as a non-motorized project under the development and rehabilitation of
trails, trailside and trailhead facilities category. The project involves the realignment of portions of the
existing trail (approximately 850 feet) that is flooded due to high water levels in the adjacent lake.
The project will remove invasive plants, clear and grub approximately 0.7 acre of terrain, compact the
base material, import approximately 1,800 cubic yards of fill material to elevate the trail, add a trail
surface to match existing trail, install trail edge headers, and install trail markers and other signage.
The total project cost is $766,618.
Staff has prepared a grant application for 50% of the project cost ($383,309). To complete the
application, staff is requesting adoption of Resolution 2023-30, "A Resolution of the City Council of
the City of Huntington Beach Approving the Application for Grant Funds from the Habitat
Conservation Fund Program" (see Attachment 1). If approved, staff will submit the completed grant
package to the State Department of Parks and Recreation, which plans to announce recommended
projects in Winter 2023, with mandatory workshops and grant agreements to be completed in early
2024. If awarded, the grant performance period is 5 years from July 1, 2024 through June 30, 2029.
Furthermore, in order to accept the grant funds, the City must commit to matching 50% of the project
cost. If awarded, staff will return to City Council at a future date to request sufficient budget
appropriation.
Environmental Status:
CEQA analysis will be performed in the future if the grant is awarded.
Strategic Plan Goal:

RESOLUTION NO. 2023-30
GRANT SCOPE OF WORK
The Shipley Trail Project involves the realignment of portions of the existing Shipley
Trail that are currently flooded because of the water level at the Blackbird pond raising
approximately 2 ft. in the last few years.
The Project involves realignment of approximately 850 ft. of trail from Trail Marker 7 to
west of Trail Marker 9.
The project will consist of the following:
1. Removal of several willow trees, with large branches and trunks that extend
several feet from their trunks. The willow trees would have to be removed completely or cut so
the branches no longer infringe upon the proposed trail.
2. The work would also involve the removal of native and non-native vines such as
Reed, Brazilian pepper trees and others. Please note that eradication of the plant material
outside the trail path has not been added in order to keep the cost reasonable.
3. The work would include the clearing and grubbing of approximately 0.7 acre of
terrain along the new proposed trail alignment.
4. Compaction of base material, and import of approximately 1800 cubic yards of
fill material to elevate the trail above possible flooding stage.
5. Addition of a trail surface to match existing trail (i.e.: wood chips or decomposed
granite).
6. Installation of trail edge headers, installation of trail markers and other required
sign age.
7. The exact length of trail to be restored must be verified by field measurements.
Surveying will be necessary to determine the elevation of the trail relative to the bottom of the
pond drain.
