2008 Neighborhood Park Development Grant Contract
• • •
DATE: Tuesday, May 20, 2008
LOG NAME: 802007-2008NPDG
REFERENCE NO.: G-16150
SUBJECT:
Authorize the Award of Fiscal Year 2007-2008 Neighborhood Park Development Grants in the
Amount of $125,186 and Adopt Appropriation Ordinance
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council:
1. Approve the FY 2007-08 Neighborhood Park Development Grant Awards for various parks; and
2. Adopt the attached appropriation ordinance increasing estimated receipts and appropriations by $125,186 in
the Park Gas Lease Unspecified Capital Project Fund from the Gas Well Royalty Revenues.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this M&C is to authorize award of the FY 2007-08 Neighborhood Park Development Grant
Program (NPDGP) grants and appropriate the funds necessary to underwrite the grants and to fund the
program oversight, financial administration and project inspections costs which will be incurred as the result of
the management of this program and the new Neighborhood Park Enhancement Program (NPEP). A total of
$125,186 is being recommended for appropriation to fund seven grants (totaling $97,396) and the program
management for both the NPDGP and the NPEP ($27,790).
In November 2007, staff briefed the Parks and Community Services Advisory Board (PACSAB) on the FY
2007-08 Neighborhood Park Development Grant Program. The Parks and Community Services Department
(PACSD) received 12 grant applications that were subsequently scored and ranked by the Neighborhood Park
Development Grants Committee. The committee included representatives from the League of Neighborhoods,
the PACSAB and staff from the Planning and Development Department and the PACSD. Those grants
recommended for funding by the committee and endorsed by the PACSAB at their January 23, 2008, meeting
include:

Four projects were not recommended for funding including: 1) Woodway Elementary and 2) Monning Middle
School which were projects on school property not readily accessible to the surrounding neighborhood, 3)
Settlement Plaza has yet to complete a previous grant project thus ruled ineligible, and 4) Parkwood Hills is
being funded from the 2004 Capital Improvement Program. In addition, the Oakhurst Neighborhood
Association elected to withdraw their application from consideration (the project had been recommended for
funding by the committee, but Oakhurst Park was recently awarded a gas lease bonus in the amount of $7,820
which will be used to fund the desired improvements).
On October 16, 2007, City Council directed staff to develop an alternative to the NPDGP for those
neighborhood and community organizations who had difficulty is providing the required cash match. As a
result, staff developed the Neighborhood Park Enhancement Program (NPEP) which will also be funded from
gas well royalty revenues. Four projects totaling $100,000 will be awarded later this summer (maximum award
of $25,000/project). Applications are currently available and workshops are being scheduled in May to assist
neighborhoods with the application process. The deadline for submittal to the NPEP is June 30, 2008. Once
evaluated, the selected projects will be presented to the PACSAB for their review and endorsement and then
to the City Council for approval and appropriation of funding. As noted above, a portion of the appropriation
which is included in this M&C will fund administration of this program.
FISCAL INFORMATION/CERTIFICATION:
The Finance Director certifies that upon approval of the above recommendations, funds will be available in the
current capital budget, as appropriated, of the Park Gas Lease Unspecified Capital Project Fund.
