BACKGROUND
City Parks, Recreation and Community Services staff are currently developing a plan to
upgrade play areas in Almendra Park and Valencia Meadows Park. In order to meet ADA
requirements, it is anticipated that a portion of the play areas will receive poured -in-place
rubber composition surfacing. This surface is composed primarily of recycled tire rubber.
These mats allow greater access to play areas for the disabled and provide protection
against common playground injury.
A Playground Cover and Surfacing Grant has been issued by the California Integrated
Waste Management Board to help cover the costs of purchasing and installing these types
of surfaces. The maximum.amount that can be awarded per grant is $25,000. The State
has allocated a total of $300,000 for this grant program.
ALTERNATIVE ACTIONS
City Council may elect to not authorize the grant application.
FISCAL IMPACT
None. The grant requires a 50% match of total project costs. Should the grant amount be
$25,000 the required match will be $12,500. These funds are included in the current
$80,000 budget for the Playground Equipment Upgrades (P1001) project. This grant will
add funding to the project.
