PROTECTION BOND ACT OF 2000
RECOMMENDATION:
That City Council adopt a resolution that will allow the State of California, Department of
Parks and Recreation, Office of Grant Services to encumber Per Capita Grant Program
funds as designated in State Proposition 12 on behalf of the City of Palm Springs.
SUMMARY:
Staff asks that City Council adopt a resolution that allows the State of California,
Department of Parks and Recreation, Office of Grant Services to encumber Per Capita I
and 11 grant funds in the amount of$395,000 for the design and construction of the skate
park as recommended by staff and the Parks and Recreation Commission.
BACKGROUND:
On March 7, 2000, California voters sent a clear message with the passage of the 2000
Parks Bond Act that strongly supported state and local parks.
The Parks Bond Act of 2000 provides $2.1 billion for a variety of parks and other projects
at the state and local levels, including $842.5 million for local parks. The Park Bond Act
requires that$388 million of that be distributed on a per-capita basis. The per capita grant
program is separated into two programs (Per Capital I and Per Capita 11) based upon
population. The City of Palm Springs' population (43,500) is based on January 1, 2000
figures provided by the State Department of Finance. Per Capita 1 ($6.43 per capita)yields
the City $279,705 and Per Capita 11 ($2.64 per capita) yields the City $114,840. The
combined total equals $395,000. All allocations were rounded to the nearest thousand.
The per capita grants do not require local matching funds and may be used for a variety
of purposes, focusing on acquisition, development, improvement, restoration, and
interpretation of local park and recreation lands.
The City will receive $395,000 from the per capita grant, which staff and the Parks and
Recreation Commission recommend go towards the design and construction of the skate
park.
