BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In February 2000, the Safe Neighborhood Parks, Clean Water, Clean Air, and Coastal Protection Bond Act of 2000 (Proposition 12) was passed by the citizens of California. The City of Lodi is scheduled to receive $168,584 from the Roberti-Z'Berg-Harris Urban Open Space and Recreation Program portion of the bond act. The Roberti-Z'Berg-Harris Program is allocated on a population -based formula and is intended to meet the most urgent park and recreation needs in the most heavily populated and most economically disadvantaged areas within the city. These funds can be used for either acquisition or development of recreation land and facilities. Applicants will be required to provide at least 30% of the project costs. The 30% local match required for the City of Lodi amounts to $72,250. Projects have yet to be determined and will come to Council for final approval. Development impact fees may be used to meet part of the 30% match requirement if a selected project is part of the program. If development impact fees are not used, then capital budget funds may be used. In summary, the local match must come from non -state sources. 10% of the match must come from private or non -state sources. The City must enter into a contract with the State by June 30, 2003 and complete all projects by June 30, 2008. FUNDING: 30% match RB:svb cc: City Attorney Attachment APPROVED: �" ' Roger Baltz it Parks and Recreation Director H. Dixon Flynn -- 08/09/01 MATCHING REQUIREMENTS The minimum local Match, all of which must come from nonstate monies, is 3/7 times the jurisdiction's allocation (Refer to Appendix on pg. 64 for table of jurisdiction's allocations and required match). This represents 30% of the allowable cost for each Project and, on a Project -by -Project basis, can be calculated as 317 times the Project Grant Amount for each Project. The fraction 3/7 is due to the relationship that for every 10 dollars in allowable Project cost the State will cover 7 dollars with a grant (70% of Project cost) and the Grantee must match the State's 7 dollars with 3 dollars (30% of Project cost) from the Grantee's funds. Thus the local Match equals $3 local Match money for every $7 in State grant money or W times the Project Grant Amount. For example, a $100,000 Project funded by.a $70,000 grant will require a $30,000 Match [calculated as 30% of the Project cost (0.3 times $100,000) or as 3/7 times the Project Grant Amount (3/7 times $70,000)]. The Match cannot come from State sources, such as other State funded grant programs. Grants may be matched by monetary or nonmonetary contributions as follows: 1. In -Kind contributions (goods and/or volunteer services) applied to the specific Project during the Project period, including, but not limited to, equipment, consumable supplies, volunteer services, and free or reduced -cost use of lands, facilities, or equipment. 2. Force Account labor (Applicant's employees) costs incurred on the specific Project during the Project period. 3. The value of real property donated for the Project if the recreation Development is to occur on the property and if the Applicant does not take title to the property until after the Development grant agreement is approved by the state. The value of the matching donation will be determined by review of the appraisal. 4. Grants for Acquisition shall be matched only by money or property donated to be part of the Acquisition Project. Match from Private or Nonstate Sources At least one-third of the local Match must consist of monies or nonmonetary contributions from Private or Nonstate Sources, unless waived (See page 11 for waiver information). The minimum Match from Private or Nonstate Sources can be calculated as 10% of the Project cost, e.g. For a $100,000 Project the match is .10 X $100,000 = $10,000. If the Project Grant Amount is known, the minimum Match can also be calculated as 1/7 times the Project Grant Amount, e.g. For a $100,000 Project with a Project Grant Amount of $70,000 the match is $70,000 X 1/7 = $10,000. At the option of the Applicant, the entire Match can come from Private or Nonstate Sources. The Applicant shall certify to the Department the source and amount of private or nonstate funds (See Appendix H, pg. 59). This may be done on a Project -by -Project basis or, if the Applicant chooses, the Match may be calculated as a percentage of the total allocation. If done on a Project -by -Project. basis, one local Match certification form per Project must be submitted. If calculated as a percentage of the total allocation, only one form need be submitted. The certification shall be made at least 30 days prior to actual release of state funds.
