SUBJECT: RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE APPLICATION FOR GRANT
FUNDS FROM THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF PARKS AND
RECREATION
SUMMARY
The City of Rosemead has another opportunity to apply for grant funds through the Statewide
Park Program (SPP) competitive grants, made available through Proposition 68, will create new
parks and new recreation opportunities in critically underserved communities across California.
Eligible projects include creation of new parks, expansion of existing parks, or renovation of
existing parks. Grant requests can range from $200,000 to $8.5 million, with no match
requirement. Grant applications are due March 12, 2021.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution No. 2021-10 authorizing the City of
Rosemead to apply for grant funds from the California Department of Parks and Recreation.
ANALYSIS
The California Department of Parks and Recreation has announced the availability of over $395
million in this 4th and final round of funding of the Statewide Park Development and Community
Revitalization Program. This round of funding completes the largest park related grant program
in California's history with over $1 billion in funding between the Proposition 68 and
Proposition 84 Bonds Acts. The program will award grand funds to agencies whose eligible park
and open space projects best meet the grant requirements.
The City of Rosemead submitted an application for round 3 of this funding and, while the project
did not receive funding,the City received feedback from the state on the application and believes
that there is an opportunity for funding in round 4.
