Adopt Resolution No. authorizing the application for grant funds
totalling $181,000 under the allocation program provided by the Community
Parklands Act of 1986 for improvements to the Lincoln Athletic Facilities.
Background:
In June, 1986, California voters enacted the Community Parklands Act in order to
provide funds for public recreational purposes. Local jurisdictions are allocated
funds based on population; the City of Newport Beach will be allocated $181,000
subject to State approval of the application materials and project proposal.
The initial improvements to the Lincoln Facility will enhance its use as a
recreation site and improve its infrastructure. As reported to the City Council
on September 22, 1986, project development has occurred in cooperation with
community organizations and the Newport -Mesa Unified School District. The City
has also worked with consultants, Recreation Systems, Inc., to develop a con-
ceptual site plan and Opinion of Probable Construction Costs which total $755,881,
including architectural and design fees. A summary of the project proposal is attached.
Following City Council approval, the Department submitted the project proposal
and an application for grant funds under the Regional Competitive Program of the
1984 California Park and Recreation Facilities Act. If approved, the requested
1984 funding of $300,000 could provide a total of $481,000 of grant funds to
finance the project. Contingent upon State funding, the Department will initiate
a Capital Improvements Budget request for the estimated balance of $274,881.
