RECOMMENDATION(S):

AUTHORIZE the Public Works Director, or designee, to submit an application requesting Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for improvements at Montalvin Park in San Pablo and accept funds if application is approved. (District I)

FISCAL IMPACT:

If the application is approved the County may be granted up to $90,000 toward the project budget. County Service Area M-17 funds will be used to match 25% of the total grant award for the project.

BACKGROUND:

The purpose of this project is to improve the recreational sports facilities located on the upper level of Montalvin Park in unincorporated San Pablo. These improvements will serve lower to moderate income residents in the Montalvin neighborhood, who rely on Montalvin Park for outdoor activities. It will also encourage youth to utilize the facilities in a positive way, and will enhance the overall aesthetic appearance of the park.

The Public Works Department identifies grant funding opportunities to stretch local dollars to provide additional improvements to the unincorporated communities in the County. The CDBG is intended to develop viable urban communities by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment, and by expanding economic opportunities, principally for low and moderate income persons. The program is authorized under Title 1 of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 and is administered through the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Without authorization the Public Works Department will not have the opportunity to receive CDBG funding for this project.
