PREPARED BY: Jesus Villegas, Public Works Director/City Engineer SUBJECT: Adopt Budget Amendment Resolution to Reallocate Fund No. 255 - American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) in the Amount of $250,000 for the Purchase of Surveillance Cameras and Accessories for Various Parks, Fields and Retention Basins.
=====================
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Council of the City of Calexico adopt the following:
1. Adopt Budget Amendment Resolution to Reallocate Fund No. 255 - American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) in the amount of $250,000 for the purchase of surveillance cameras and accessories for various parks, fields and retention basins.
Background:
On September 6, 2023, the City Council of the City of Calexico allocated $300,000 of Fund No. 255 - American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) for park improvements at Border Friendship Park (Genaro "Teco" Monroy).
On October 18, 2023, the City Council of the City of Calexico authorized the reallocation of • $50,000 from park improvements at Border Friendship Park (Genaro "Teco" Monroy) to facility improvements for Temporary Police/Traffic Control Substation.
On September 17, 2025, the City Council of the City of Calexico adopted Resolution No. 2025- 60 which authorized the City Manager to execute a Land Lease Agreement with Hensel Phelps for temporary use of Border Friendship Park and the east "Orthopedic Clinic" parking lot in support of the construction of the new pedestrian processing facility at the Calexico West Land Port of Entry. The term of the Land Lease Agreement is for a period of 43 months; the Hensel Phelps has the option of extending their lease on a month-to-month for a period of twelve (12) additional months.
Discussion and Analysis:
The City will not be able to use the $250,000 in park improvements at Border Friendship Park (Genaro "Teco" Monroy) by December 31, 2026 (the deadline to spend ARPA funding), due to the above-mentioned Land Lease Agreement. Thus, City staff is recommending the $250,000 from Border Friendship Park (Genaro "Teco" Monroy) be reallocated to purchase surveillance cameras for parks, fields and retention basins. The surveillance cameras will assist the City in improving safety, collect evidence and monitor traffic. In addition, this will encourage good behavior to help maintain our parks safe and clean.
