SUBJECT: AMENDED RESOLUTION TO APPROVE STATE GRANT
FUNDING
DEPARTMENT: City Manager's Office
PRESENTER: Masis Hagobian
RECOMMENDED ACTION
City Council adopt an amended resolution to conform with changes made to the 2022/23 State Budget and authorize the City of Santa Clarita to work with the State Department of Parks and Recreation to receive funding for the acquisition of open space.
BACKGROUND
In response to surplus funds identified in the Governor’s 2022/23 Fiscal Year Budget Proposal and through the desire of the State Legislature to fund community-based projects, the City of Santa Clarita (City) worked with the office of State Senator Scott Wilk in securing $7 million in the 2022/23 State Budget for the acquisition of open space.
As a prerequisite by the State Department of Parks and Recreation to access the funding, the City Council adopted a resolution on December 13, 2022, approving the grant. The language in the 2022/23 State Budget called for the funds to be used to acquire a specific open space area within the City. To provide more flexibility and maximize the use of the funds, the City again worked with State Senator Scott Wilk’s office earlier this year to amend the budget language, allowing for the funds to be used to acquire any open space area within the City.
As a result, this item is to adopt an amended resolution to conform with the amendments made to the 2022/23 State Budget.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION
Other direction, as provided by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
No additional resources beyond those contained within the adopted Fiscal Year 2024/25 budget are required for implementation of the recommended action.
