Agenda Item No. 11-
MEETING DATE: October 2, 2007
SUBJECT
Authorize application to the California River Parkways Grant Program.
BACKGROUND
The City was awarded $798,000 from this program in the last grant cycle for the Stevens Creek
Corridor Proj~t. Staff would like to approach the funder for additional support, and needs Council
authorization to do so.
L The McClellan Ranch Facilities Improvement Project is underway and the Blackberry Farm portion
of the project will be out to bid before this round of funding is awarded, however, by arrangement
with the Resources Agency, the requested grant funds can still be applied to the project so long as
construction of the discrete. line item has not commenced. Staff will request funding for the line
items scheduled for construction nearer project completion.
At the September 18, 2007 meeting, Council authorized bidding of the Mary Avenue bicycle bridge
project. The funding strategy outlined in the staff report borrowed a total of $2.9M from the
Stevens Creek Corridor Project. The p~ject scope approved by the Council on October 17, 2006
cannot be constructed with the $2.9M budget reduction. Staff will continue to explore funding
opportunities.
