The per - parcel discretionary portion of Proposition A states that cities are entitled to funds based on the total number of land parcels within City limits. According to County records, the City of Santa Clarita has 39,947 parcels, and therefore is allocated $1,340,000 of the funds. In the 1994-95 municipal budget, the City Council has approved the expenditure of $100,000 in discretionary Proposition A funds for acquisition, design, and construction of the South Fork Trail - Phase IV. (This information is attached.) The project limits include the South ForkRiver corridor from Magic Mountain Parkway to McBean Parkway. Once the grant application process is concluded with Los Angeles County, staff envisions that easement acquisition and project design should be accomplished this year. However, the County requires that the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing their approval of the grant application before the process may begin. Previously, the City Council adopted Resolution 93-157 and approved the application for funds for various projects with the County of Los Angeles to allow staff to begin acquisition of Proposition A funding. (This resolution is attached.) Approximately $1,190,000 of the total funding amount has been approved for allocation to previous park projects. The proposed South Fork Trail Phase IV project was not included in the original resolution, and therefore requires the adoption of Resolution 94-94 to begin application procedures. RECOMMENDATION The City Council adopt Resolution 94-94, allowing the City to enter into an agreement with the County of Los Angeles for the purpose of utilizing discretionary Proposition A funds and authorizing the City Manager to conduct all negotiations and execute all documents which may be necessary for the completion of the proposed South Fork Trail - Phase IV project.
