Resolution Approving and Authorizing Execution of State Standard Agreement
For Housing Related Parks Program Grant
RECOMMENDATION
It is reconnnended that the City Council adopt the Attached Resolution Approving and
Authorizing Execution of State Standard Agreement For Housing Related Parks Program Grant.
BACKGROUND
In October 2013, California's Department of Housing & Community Development announced a
grant application for its Housing -Related Parks Program (HRP). This incentive grant program,
totaling $25 million, is available to eligible cities who meet the threshold requirements. One of
those requirements is to have produced affordable housing during the designated 2013 period
which is inclusive of the years 2011, 2012, and 2013.
The projects that were designated in the HRP application were the Meadowview playground
replacement and the East Washington Park. These two projects were selected as two of
Petaluma's highest park and recreation priorities.
On December 2, 2013, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2013-155 N.C.S. authorizing the
City Manager to execute the HRP Application package and any HRP grant documents as
required by the Department for participation in the I -IRP program. The City's grant application
was sent in by the due date of January 22, 2014.
On July 1, 2014, the Department of Housing & Community Development (I -ICD) awarded the
City of Petaluma a grant under the Housing -Related Parks Program in the amount of $472,500.
DISCUSSION
The resolution previously adopted on December 2, 2013 was based on a template that was
provided by the California Department of Housing & Community Development.
In an email from HCD on October S. 2014, HCD stated that during the contracting process, their
legal division determined that the resolution authorizing submittal and execution of the grant
agreement must also include the grant award amount. The information was not previously
included in their resolution template provided to the applicants. Attached is the revised
resolution, including the grant amount, that needs to be executed before any funds can be
disbursed.
HCD stated in a letter dated October 16, 2014 that the Standard Agreement was to be returned
within 30 days from the date it was sent to the local agencies. The Council previously authorized
the City Manager to execute documents related to this grant, thus the Standard Agreement was
signed and returned to HCD on November 6, 2014. The revised resolution will be sent
separately after it is approved by the City Council.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The funding will allow the City to apply the funds to two of Petaluma's highest part: and
recreation priorities.
