SUBJECT: Donation from Goleta Valley Community Center Organization
RECOMMENDATION:
A. Approve a donation from the Goleta Valley Community Center organization, in the amount of $50,000, to support the functional and Americans with Disabilities Act improvements to the entrance and waiting area of the Pickleball courts at the Goleta Community Center.
B. Approve a budget revenue appropriation of $50,000 to the Community Center donations revenue account.
BACKGROUND:
In 202 2, the Goleta Valley Community Center ( GVCC) organization renovated the previous tennis court at the Goleta Community Center in to four permanent pickleball courts and one court for dual purpose as a permanent basketball court and temporary pickleball court. Improvements included court resurfacing, fencing improvements, new nets, lighting upgrades, and other site amenities. A large group of community members and pickleball players assisted the GVCC to raise the necessary funds to ensure the project is completed.
DISCUSSION:
In late 2022, the GVCC approached the City with a proposal and draft plan to upgrade entrances and the waiting area at the newly resurfaced pickleball courts, utilizing donations and volunteers for much of the effort . The proposed upgrades address ADA accessible walkways, shade structures, seating and the division between the parking lot and the waiting area . Unfortunately, the timeframe to move through the design and construction process would not allow the GVCC the opportunity to complete the project prior to the city assuming management of the facility on January 1, 2023. The GVCC remains committed to the project and has offered to contribute $50,000 that they had 1 Meeting Date: May 2, 2023
budgeted for the completion of this project. The donation, if accepted, would come via a completed Donation Acceptance Form (Attachment 1).
GOLETA STRATEGIC PLAN:
The acceptance of this donation to complete the functional and ADA improvements to the entrance and waiting area of the Pickleball courts at the Goleta Community Center aligns with the following sections of the 2021-2023 Goleta Strategic Plan.
City-Wide Strategy: 2. Support Community Vitality and Enhanced Recreational Opportunities
Strategic Goal: 2. Support programs that enhance quality of life in the Goleta community such as recreation, public safety, human services, and cultural arts.
FISCAL IMPACTS:
On April 18, 2023, the City Council approved $135,000 in Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Funds to support this project. Project estimates are anticipated to slightly exceed the CDBG allocation, utilizing the funds donated by the GVCC Organization to offset project costs.
Once received, the donation will offset any expenditures appropriated within Fund 217, Goleta Community Center. Staff are requesting a budget revenue appropriation of $50,000 to account 217 -60-6510-46003, the Community Center donation revenue account.
ALTERNATIVES:
The City Council may choose not to accept the donation and project costs that exceed the CDBG allocation, in which case Council would need to authorize another source of funds in order to complete the project.
