3. MATTERS FROM STAFF
A. Potential Park Project
SUMMARY
City staff is currently working with Global Urban Strategies, a grant consultant, to submit
an application for the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) grant that is due in
February of 2018. The LWCF is a federally funded grant administered locally by the
California Department of Parks and Recreation, to preserve natural resources and
create opportunities for high-quality outdoor recreation. The funding for the LWCF grant
has been inconsistent and sparse in recent years, which leads officials to believe this
grant cycle will be highly competitive. City staff has identified two potential park projects
for the LWCF grant application.
Option 1
The development of a dog park at Garvey Park on the west side of the property as
presented at the Parks Commission meeting on October 3, 2017. The dog park would
include a large and small dog section with various amenities to be determined at a later
time.
Option 2
The land acquisition and development of a new neighborhood park through an
agreement with Southern California Edison (SCE). SCE has provided the City with three
locations that would be available for the development of a new neighborhood park.
1. Mission Dr. & Walnut Grove Dr. 7 acres
2. Hellman Ave. & Stallo Ave. 4.3 acres
3. Earle Ave. & Artson St. 3.33 acres
STAFF RECOMMENDATION
That the Parks Commission provide a recommendation of a preferred park project for
the Land and Water Conservation Fund grant application.
