AGENDA TITLE: Adopt resolution approving the application for grant funds for the California River Parkways
Grant Program under the Water Security, Clean Drinking Water, Coastal and Beach
Protection Act of 2002
MEETING DATE: October 5, 2005
PREPARED BY: Parks and Recreation Director
Public Works Director
RECONN#ENOED ACTION: That the City Council adopt the attached resolution authorizing staff to
apply for grant funds for the California River Parkways Grant Program
under the Water Security, Clean Drinking Water, Coastal and Beach
Protection Act of 2002.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In 2002, California voters passed the Water Security, Clean Drinking
Water, Coastal and Beach Protection Act. The Act (Proposition 50) is
composed of several programs, one of which is the California River
Parkways Grant Program. This competitive program provides $40.5
million to acquire, restore, protect and develop river parkways.
Staff is requesting authorization to apply for grant funds under this program to build a pedestrian walkway bridge
that will continue our efforts of providing a handicap accessible bicyclelpedestrian corridor within Lodi Lake Park.
Handicap accessible bicycle/pedestrian trails have been constructed with the idea that the pedestrian walkway
bridge would allow us to connect them all together. This project qualifies for funding by providing recreational
opportunities along the Mokelumne River. Additionally, an interpretive component will be added supporting the
Lower Mokelumne River Watershed Stewardship plan. Staff is also focused on the healthlwellness benefit of
connecting the existing trails together. The bridge will afford facility users the ability to travel the entire looped trail
system.
FISCAL IMPACT: The total project is roughly estimated to cost $1,000,000. The grant application VAI
be requesting $750,000 in funding with a 25% City match ($250,000). Under this
bond act program, matching funds are not required; however, given the limited
available funds, staff feels this will help make the project more competitive. Any
additional project funds needed can come from Development Impact Fees and in-kind services from City staff and
supporting community groups.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: City will offer 25% match from Parks & Recreation Development Impact fees, as this
project is considered part of the deue oTent of the WOA13 acres of Lodi Lake Bark.
