FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager BY: Department of Parks and Recreation SUMMARY The City Council will consider a resolution for submittal of a grant application to the State of California, Department of Parks and Recreation, Office of Grants and Local Services, for the Palm Springs Stadium infield and outfield replacement with artificial turf. RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution No. , "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PALM SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA, APPROVING THE APPLICATION FOR YOUTH SOCCER AND RECREATION DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM GRANT." STAFF ANALYSIS: On March 5, 2002, California voters passed Proposition 40 by 56.8%, the $2.6 billion "California Clean Water, Clean Air, Safe Neighborhood Parks, and Coastal Protection Act of 2002." The passage of Proposition 40 provided funds for local assistance grants. The California Clean Water, Clean Air, Safe Neighborhood Parks, and Coastal Protection Act of 2002 is intended to acquire and develop properties of the state park system, to acquire and develop neighborhood, community, and regional parks and recreation areas, for land, air and Water Conservation programs, including acquisition for those purposes, and to acquire, restore, preserve and interpret California's historical and cultural resources. Due to the severe drought conditions, the Governor's Water Conservation Executive Order B-29-15 requires California to save water, increase enforcement against water waste, invest in new water management technologies, and streamline government response. ITEM NO.�_ City Council Staff Report October 19, 2015-- Page 2 California Recreation Grant The replacement of Palm Springs Stadium infield and outfield grass with artificial turf will not only create new opportunities for the youth of Palm Springs, but it will have a major impact on water conservation. Based on a study done by Southern Nevada Water District the City would save approximately 5.9 million gallons of water per year (107,000 square feet of turf at 55 gallons of water per square foot) and 115,000 pounds of carbon footprint savings based on mowing every other week and fertilizing only 2 times per year. The estimated cost for the replacement of the infield and outfield grass at Palm Springs Stadium would be $1.2 million. The maximum grant amount that can be requested is $1,000,000. City Staff met with the principles of Palm Springs POWER, a substantial user of the Palm Springs Stadium, and they are in support of the application and the conversion to artificial turf. Should the State approve the grant, the normal City approval process would be applicable for a capital projects, including approval of the design and the project award by the City Council The project and the submission of the grant is consistent with the City Council three- year goal to Enhance and invest in Public Infrastructure, and the City Council one-year priority to Increase Grant Funding and Other Fundraising. In 2015, the City funded with local Quimby Funds, the successful Cerritos Field grass replacement to artificial turf project. FISCAL IMPACT: No fiscal impact to submit the grant application. If approved the City will be responsible for matching funds for all costs of the project over the State approved grant. cti, r.x ICKI OLTEAN ES THOMPSON Director, Parks and Recreation hief of Staff/City Clerk DAVID H.
