SUBJECT
Agenda Date: June 7, 2004
Approve application for grant funding under the Land and Water Conservation Fund for Stevens Creek
Corridor Park.
BACKGROUND
Funding is available from the Land and Water Conservation Fund (LWCF) for outdoor recreation
purposes. This grant program can match state funding for local projects.
We have begun, what will likely be a multi-year effort, to assemble the funds necessary to bring a
community vision for the Stevens Creek Corridor to fruition. LWCF funding is particularly attractive
because no local match is required. We have already secured state funds for this project and they can be
used to meet the required match.
On December 15, 2003, the City Council authorized the city manager to enter into a contract for $220,000
of Per Capita Funds under the 2002 Resources Bond ~~ct for the Stevens Creek Corridor Project. The
Council has also authorized the contract for Roberti-2;'Berg-Harris Block Grant Funds in the amount of
$129,165. Staff is now processing an application for '80,000 from the Land and Water Conservation
Funds.
Funds currently available or pending review for this project to date include:
• $220,000, 2002 Resources Bond Act -Secured
• $129,165, Roberti-Z'Berg-Harris Block Grant- ~'~ecured
• $833,000, Urban Park Act -Applied, pending word in fall 2004
• Amount to be determined, Santa Clara Valley Water District partnership (various funding sources)
• $80,000, Land and Water Conservation Fund -currently applying
RECOMMENDATION
