Recommendation
Adopt A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF LAKE ELSINORE,
CALIFORNIA, APPROVING AN APPLICATION FOR PER CAPITA GRANT FUNDS.
Background
In June of 2019, the Community Services Department applied for Per Capita Allocation Funds
through the California State Parks Office of Grants and Local Services (OGALS) and
Proposition 68. The Proposition 68 Per Capita Program ($185,000,000) provides funds to local
governments for rehabilitation, creation, and improvement of local parks, and to rehabilitate
existing infrastructure and address deficiencies in neighborhoods that lack access to the
outdoors. Proposition 68 provides that eligible recipients for Per Capita funds are counties,
cities, and districts.
Under this grant program, local governments are provided eligibility allowances based on
population. All eligible cities received a flat amount grant of $177,952.00 plus the City of Lake
Elsinore is eligible for an additional $38,473.00 grant calculated at $0.61 per capita to “Entities
with Populations Less Than 200,000 in Heavily Urbanized Counties.” The City was successful
(as were many cities in Riverside County) and is eligible to receive a total of $216,425.00
towards improvements and new projects in local parks. To receive funds, a RESOLUTION of
acceptance is required.
Discussion
City staff hereby recommends the approval for submittal of the grant application and begin the
process for funding consideration and acceptance.
Fiscal Impact
Total funds available through this grant are $216,425.
