RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Conservation and Development Director, or designee, to execute a contract with the East Bay Regional Parks District in the amount of $78,825 to implement the Housing Related Parks Program projects, for the period September 1, 2017 through August 31, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No impact to the General Fund, 100% Housing Related Grants Program funds.

BACKGROUND:

On October 18, 2016, the Board of Supervisors authorized the Department of Conservation and Development Department to submit a grant application to the California Department of Housing and Community Development for to obtain Housing Related Park Program funds. The Board Order identified two projects to receive the funds. The projects are located in Bay Point and Pacheco, near the location of the qualified housing development. The projects were identified using information gathered by staff in developing the expenditure plan for Measure WW local park funds.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

The Bay Point project will provide funding to the East Bay Regional Parks District for improvement to the Harrier Trail at the Bay Point Regional Shoreline. The project is also receiving funds from EBRPD Measure WW funds and Navy Mitigation funds. The East Bay Regional Parks District adopted a mitigated negative declaration for the project on February 20, 2001 and is in the process of adopting an addendum to the California Environmental Quality Act initial study and mitigated negative declaration.

For the Pacheco area grant, the County executed a contract with the Martinez Unified School District for the par course to the Las Juntas elementary school playfield.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

The East Bay Regional Parks District will have to find alternate funding sources or narrow the scope of the projects.
