CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
Staff Report
Subiect:
Resolutions authorizing the Mayor of the City of San Bernardino or her designee to apply for and
administer two (2) State Urban Parks and Healthy Communities grants from the State of
California Department of Parks and Recreation for the Ruben Campos Center
Upgrade/Renovation and two (2) new baseball fields at Al Guhin Park.
Backl!:round:
The State Urban Parks and Healthy Communities Program intent is to acquire or develop
recreational activities that require athletic fields, courts, gymnasiums, or other recreational
facilities/venues for youth soccer, baseball, football, basketball, tennis, or swimming, or any
activity which involves physical exertion. The grant deadline is November 5, 2004. The
minimum grant request is $75,000 per project and the maximum is $1,000,000 per project. A
25% match is required per project.
The Parks and Recreation Commission held a meeting on December 18,2003, to prioritize a list
of potential projects. Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department personnel
compared the Commission's priority listing to the criteria for several available grants. Based on
that analysis, staff determined that the following five (5) projects most closely matched the grant
criteria: Soccer Complex Synthetic fields, Nunez field renovation, Ruben Campos Community
Center upgrade/renovation, Al Guhin fields and Perris Hill Senior Center expansion. Four grant
applications are due November 5 and the Perris Hill grant application is due December 10. This
grant, the State Urban Park Healthy Communities Grant, most closely matched the scope of the
Ruben Campos Community Center upgradelrenovation and the Al Guhin fields. As a result the
department is requesting the authorization to submit an application for the Ruben Campos Center
upgrade/renovation and one for two (2) new baseball/football fields at Al Guhin Park.
The Ruben Campos Center upgrade/renovation will include the removal of a dropped ceiling to
create a multipurpose gymnasium space, renovation of meeting rooms and installation of flexible
walls to provide a variety of space sizes to accommodate various recreation activities and
classes. With this project, the facility will open a computer room to host tutor classes and the
multipurpose room will allow the facility to program indoor activities i.e., baton lessons, flag
twirling, karate, aerobics and cheer.
The Al Guhin project will include the development of two (2) baseball fields with moveable
fencing to allow the outfield to be utilized for football leaving the diamond area intact. These
fields will support the significant recreational play needs of the entire Verdemont area. The Park
is located within the geographic boundaries of Newmark Little League and the Little League
Baseball's Western Regional facilities, but due to the increased residential development in the
north end of San Bernardino, the current fields are inadequate to meet the demand for both
practice and games.
The Ruben Campos project will cost $1,000,000. The grant will fund $750,000 and the City
match requirement will be $250,000 funded by the Park Construction fund. The two (2) new
baseball/football fields at Al Guhin Park will cost $1,000,000. The grant will fund $750,000 and
the City match requirement will be $250,000 funded by the Park Construction fund. Both venues
will increase activities to promote physical activity.
Financial Impact:
A total of $500,000 will be required as a grant match for these two projects. The match funding
for these projects will be met with the projected Park Construction Funds.
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolutions.
