6.J. - Page 2 of 6 ANALYSIS The process to obtain these funds is initiated by the City Council adoption of a resolution authorizing the City of Redwood City to apply and sign the "Per Capita Program" grant application. The City Council must adopt the Resolution language as provided by the State and by the deadline of December 1,, 2019. Adoption of the Resolution expresses the City Council's agreement with the State funding contract and confirmation that the City will complete, operate and maintain grant -funded projects. The Resolution also designates the City Manager, Director of Parks, Recreation and Community Services, or designee, to represent the City and execute all documents and negotiations on behalf of the City. After submission of the Resolution to the Office of Grants and Local Services (OGALS), the next step is to submit the application packet(s) by January 31, 2020. Once approved and executed per agreement, a completion packet of identified project(s) must be sent to OGALS no later than March 31, 2022. Staff will access the number of currently unfunded park projects listed in the Five Year Capital Improvement Project (CIP) list for future submittal in the grant application. FISCAL IMPACT There is no fiscal impact associated with the grant application. The Per Capita funding estimate for the City of Redwood City is $200,000. The proposed grant application would provide for State funds to be used for park improvement projects identified by staff within the Five Year Capital Improvement Project (CIP) list but not yet funded. Projects not serving a "severely disadvantaged community" require a local 20% match, or $40,000, which can be met through Federal, City or private funds, or City employee service or volunteer labor. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW This activity is not a project under California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as defined in CEQA Guidelines, section 15378, because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment. PUBLIC NOTICE Public Notification was achieved by posting the agenda, with the agenda items being listed, at least 72 hours prior to the meeting ALTERNATIVES The City Council could choose to not approve the Resolution and not submit a grant application.
