SUBJECT:. PROPOSITION "A' FUNDING FOR THE SANTA CLARA RIVER PARK
RESOLUTION NO.94-135
DEPARTMENT: PARKS, RECREATION, AND COMMUNITY SERVICES
On November 3, 1992, voters approved Proposition A, the Safe Neighborhood Parks Act. The
Specified Projects Program portion of Proposition A allocated $2,480,000 in funding to the City of
Santa Clarita for the acquisition and development of the Santa Clara River Park.
In the fiscal year 1994-95 municipal budget, the City Council approved $900,000 to begin the
acquisition and development process. In July 1994, the Department of Parks, Recreation, and
Community Services began the analysis of the river to prepare for community and governing
agencies' public participation meetings. The public meeting process is currently scheduled to begin
in January 1995.
To be eligible to receive reimbursement funding through Proposition A, the City must provide a
resolution of support for the Santa Clara River Park as part of the application process. Additionally,
when Proposition A funds are used for the expansion and/or development of recreational amenities
such as the Santa Clara River Park, those projects also become eligible for long-term maintenance
funding through Proposition A.
