Body
_________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council Adopt Resolution No. 24-0003 accepting the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District (RPOSD) Measure A grant funds in the Amount of $400,000.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
The Marine Avenue Turf Replacement Project was approved as part of the Fiscal Year 2023-2024 Capital Improvement Plan. The project expenditures are partially offset by $400,000 from the RPOSD Measure A grant agreement under consideration. There are no additional fiscal implications at this time.
BACKGROUND:
RPOSD Measure A is a parcel tax providing dedicated local funding for park, recreation and open space projects. The City of Manhattan Beach receives an annual allocation of approximately $150,000 to use towards development or acquisition of recreational parks and facilities.
City Council awarded a construction agreement for the Marine Avenue Turf Replacement Project in an amount not to exceed $541,350. The Parks and Recreation Department applied for and has been awarded $400,000 to apply towards the project. The balance of the funds for this project come from the CIP.
DISCUSSION:
The Marine Avenue Turf Replacement Project work is expected to be complete by January 8, 2024. The project scope included the following general improvements:
• Removal and disposal of existing synthetic turf
• Inspection and repair of existing shock pad and edge anchors, as required
• Furnishing and installing new synthetic turf
• Installation of the City’s custom logo, field linework, and markings
• Installation of standard infill
This is a reimbursable grant. The City will submit for reimbursement action.
PUBLIC OUTREACH:
After analysis, staff determined that public outreach was not required for this issue.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
The City has reviewed the proposed activity for compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and has determined that the activity is not a “Project” as defined under Section 15378 of the State CEQA Guidelines; therefore, pursuant to Section 15060(c)(3) of the State CEQA Guidelines the activity is not subject to CEQA. Thus, no environmental review is necessary.
LEGAL REVIEW:
The City Attorney has reviewed this report and determined that no additional legal analysis is necessary.
