RFCA - Resolution 2008-78 REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION

RESOLUTION: 2008-78

SUBJECT: Adoption of Projects for the 2009 Neighborhood Participation Program

ADDRESS: N/A

RECOMMENDATION: That City Council endorses the projects and funding levels as identified in the attached Resolution for the 2009 Neighborhood Participation Program.

FUNDING SOURCE: Capital Improvement and Preservation Program

SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER: The Neighborhood Participation Program has been established as a program in the Capital Improvement and Preservation Program (CIPP). The intent of the program is to encourage neighborhood organizations to identify needs in their respective areas and propose projects that qualify for City resources.

The program was established in 1992 by Resolution 92-02. In 1994, the third year of the program, City Council adopted Resolution 94-74 revising the basic eligibility criteria and project selection process for administration of the program. Project funding is set at $100,000, with an additional $20,000 for project contingencies and design work. The 2009 program was extensively publicized and 12 applications for projects were received by the September 22, 2008, deadline. Application requests totaled approximately $234,100 in project costs. Following established procedures, project submittals were evaluated and ranked by the staff team representing Community Planning and Development, Public Works, and Community Resources, and reviewed by the City Manager's Office.

At the November 17, 2008, Study Session, Council requested staff forward the attached resolution to select four projects for funding in the 2009 Neighborhood Participation Program to be adopted at the December 8, 2008, Public Hearing.
