GARVEY PARK
AND GARVEY AVENUE RECREATION FACILITIES
The Safe Neighborhood Park Propositions (Prop "A") of 1992 and 1996
provided Rosemead with $ 2,985, 549 . To date, these funds have been
used to:
a) Build the picnic shelters/play area at $ 297, 352
Rosemead Park (completed 1997) , and
b) Provided for the expansion of the $ 218, 197
Garvey Park Clubhouse (estimated
Fall, 1998) , and
c) Acquired funds to go toward the development $ 2 ,470, 000
and construction of the Recreation Center
on Garvey Avenue
The Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors has adopted its youth
hiring guidelines which stipulate that City' s/Agencies that use Prop
"A" funds must adopt a Youth Employment Goal (YEG) before it can be
reimbursed for any construction cost (Exhibit 1) . They have defined
youth as an individual between 14 and 21 years of age.
The City has two (2) options in developing its "GOAL" (Exhibit 2) .
OPTION 1. - It can spend ten percent (10%) of its Total
Construction Allocation, ($ 298,555) on hiring youth that
would be employed on the construction phase of a project; or
OPTION 2 . - It could spend fifty percent (50%) of its
Maintenance and Servicing funds, (S 431,493) on hiring youth
to maintain and or operate facilities built with Prop "A"
monies. COUNCIL AGENDA
MAR 2 41998
ITEM No.
I\ J
Option 2 would meet the Board's requirements and assist the City with
the on-going maintenance at three (3) facilities built with Prop "A"
monies. Generally speaking, it proposes to hire two (2) youth. One
(1) At Risk Youth would be hired full-time to assist with the general
building maintenance at the New Garvey Avenue Recreation Center when
it is completed.
The other youth would be hired part-time and provide for ground
maintenance at the Rosemead Park Project (Picnic and Play Area) and
building maintenance at the Garvey Park Clubhouse when it is
completed later this year.
The "Plan" would spend a total of $430, 968 over an eleven (11) year
period. (See Youth Emploment Plan. )
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Rosemead City Council meet its Youth
Employment Goal (YEG) by adopting the attached Youth Employment Plan
and authorize its filing with the Los Angeles County Regional Park
and Open Space District.
