File Number: 13-580 <br />HRP awards will be announced in June 2014 and all awarded funds must be expended by <br />June 30, 2016. <br />Applicable General Plan Policies <br />The HRP Program provides an instrumental opportunity for the City to pursue and achieve its <br />General Plan goals and objectives relating to City parks and recreational facilities: <br />Goal 21: Rehabilitation of Existing Parks <br />Policy 21.01: Park Rehabilitation <br />Encourage the rehabilitation of the City's parks to provide residents of all ages and <br />physical capabilities with access to as wide variety of recreational experiences as <br />possible. Park improvements should maintain a balance between active and passive <br />recreation areas and should ensure that the park system benefits a diverse range of <br />interest groups. <br />Policy 21.02: Park Maintenance <br />Provide for the regular, systematic maintenance of San Leandro's parks and <br />recreational facilities to prevent deterioration, ensure public safety, and permit <br />continued public use and enjoyment. <br />Policy 21.03: Priority on Renovation <br />Where cost savings and equivalent benefits would be achieved, rehabilitate existing <br />recreational facilities before building entirely new facilities. A priority should be placed <br />on renovating athletic fields and swimming pools, and replacing outdated facilities with <br />new facilities that are safe, attractive, and better meet current needs. <br />Fiscal Impacts <br />There is no fiscal impact on the City to apply and receive the grant funds. If the HRP grant is <br />awarded, the City may receive up to $946,000 in grant funding to renovate Siempre Verde <br />Park and Thrasher Park. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />None. <br />PREPARED BY: Steve Hernandez, Housing Specialist II, Community Development <br />Departments <br />City of San Leandro Page 3 Printed on 12123/2013 <br />
