FROM:
Parks, Beaches and Recreation Commission
General Services Director
SUBJECT: Castaways Park Grant Status Update
The Commission requested an update of the Grant status at their December 2000
meeting.
A Grant request was submitted to the California State Coastal Conservancy (CSCC) by
the Castaways Park Advisory Committee (CPAC). The Grant would fund the planting of
native plants and the installation of a temporary irrigation system.
• The Grant application requesting 5225,000 was submitted in November 2000. A CSCC
representative, and Mr. Bo Glover, Chairman of the CPAC, and City staff have conferred
regarding the history of the site, and the submitted planting plan. Funding for the project
is contingent upon meeting the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA).
It has been determined that it is necessary to file a Negative Declaration prepared by a
contracted consultant to complete the Grant requirements. The City's Planning
Department has been apprised and will assist with the selection of a consultant. The
schedule outlined by the CSCC requires the submittal of the Negative Declaration to
them not later than March 2001. The environmental document will also require a notice
of adoption by the City Council. The CSCC Board meets in late May 2001 to review the
grant request.
Staff will continue to update the Commission regarding this matter on a monthly basis.
Very respectfully,
• David E. Niederhaus
