BACKGROUND: At the February 9, 2016 Special Community & Senior Services Commission Meeting, a Park Needs Assessment workshop was conducted at Cameron Community Center. The Commission received input from approximately thirty five residents at the meeting (this count includes Commissioners and Council present). The Meeting was held in order to identify, prioritize, and determine the cost for park projects across the region that could be potentially funded by a Los Angeles County (County) park tax measure. In November 2016, voters approved Los Angeles County Measure A, which is a parcel tax that allocates 1.5 cents per square foot of developed property in West Covina for park development and park improvements. Measure A provides funding to the County and cities for a variety of park projects. In West Covina, those projects identified in the Parks Needs Assessment are to be funded, with additional funding for ongoing maintenance costs of these new facilities. Measure A funds cannot be used for projects not listed on the Parks Needs Assessment, unless approved by the County. In addition to the projects, Cities will be able to compete for open and competitive grants. Since the passage of Measure A, the County has held several meetings with Cities to discuss the process to receive funding and a timeline for the open and competitive grants. Funding for local projects will begin to be allocated to Cities in spring 2018. DISCUSSION: Park Needs Assessment Page 2 of 2 —November 15, 2017 The City of West Covina staff had an opportunity to meet with Los Angeles County representatives, and the County has advised the City that it can re-evaluate the community priority projects identified in February 2016, and submit a revised project list for funding consideration. The list of projects previously submitted to Los Angeles County include the following: 1. Add Community/Recreation Center at Del Norte Park 2. Add Trails at Del Norte Park 3. Add Restrooms at Del Norte Park 4, Add Trails at Galster Park 5. Add Pools/Aquatic Facilities at Shadow Oak or Maverick Park 6. Add Trails at Maverick or Orangewood Parks 7, Add Fitness Zones at Cortez Park 8. Add Fitness Zones at Shadow Oak Park 9. Add Restrooms at Heritage Park 10. Add Amphitheater at Heritage Park The Park Needs Assessment "Study Area Profile" includes data as well as the ten projects selected by the community at the February 9, 2016 Meeting (Attachment No. 1). Staff recommends that the aquatic center be removed from the priority list, as West Covina Unified School District is replacing the existing Municipal Pool, with a new aquatic center. Staff is also recommending that the Shadow Oak Park improvements (i.e. restroorns and playground) be added to the Parks Needs Assessment list, as the City Council, based on significant support from the community, has identified Shadow Oak improvements, as the City's top priority for future park funds. This project was not prioritized at the February 2016 Meeting. FISCAL IMPACT: Park projects developed or improved with Measure A funds are budgeted in the General Fund, but are reimbursed by Los Angeles County from Maintenance and Servicing Funds. Measure A funds are derived from West Covina property taxes. The County of Los Angeles has estimated that the City of West Covina will receive $400,000 in annual funds for capital projects and ongoing maintenance. Measure A does not have a sunset date as previous park measures have in the past. Prepared by: —1ALvevu- Ta\m0;12,frtd;.

BACKGROUND: At the February 9, 2016 Special Community & Senior Services Commission Meeting, a Park Needs Assessment workshop was conducted at Cameron Community Center. The Commission received input from approximately thirty five residents at the meeting (this count includes Commissioners and Council present). The Meeting was held in order to identify, prioritize, and determine the cost for park projects across the region that could be potentially funded by a Los Angeles County (County) park tax measure. In November 2016, voters approved Los Angeles County Measure A, which is a parcel tax that allocates 1.5 cents per square foot of developed property in West Covina for park development and park improvements. Measure A provides funding to the County and cities for a variety of park projects. In West Covina, those projects identified in the Parks Needs Assessment are to be funded, with additional funding for ongoing maintenance costs of these new facilities. Measure A funds cannot be used for projects not listed on the Parks Needs Assessment, unless approved by the County. In addition to the projects, Cities will be able to compete for open and competitive grants. Since the passage of Measure A, the County has held several meetings with Cities to discuss the process to receive funding and a timeline for the open and competitive grants. Funding for local projects will begin to be allocated to Cities in spring 2018. DISCUSSION: Park Needs Assessment Page 2 of 2 —November 15, 2017 The City of West Covina staff had an opportunity to meet with Los Angeles County representatives, and the County has advised the City that it can re-evaluate the community priority projects identified in February 2016, and submit a revised project list for fimding consideration. The list of projects previously submitted to Los Angeles County include the following: 1. Add Community/Recreation Center at Del Norte Park 2. Add Trails at Del Norte Park 3. Add Restrooms at Del Norte Park 4, Add Trails at Galster Park 5. Add Pools/Aquatic Facilities at Shadow Oak or Maverick Park 6. Add Trails at Maverick or Orangewood Parks 7. Add Fitness Zones at Cortez Park 8. Add Fitness Zones at Shadow Oak Park 9. Add Restrooms at Heritage Park 10. Add Amphitheater at Heritage Park The Park Needs Assessment "Study Area Profile" includes data as well as the ten projects selected by the community at the February 9, 2016 Meeting (Attachment No. 1). Staff recommends that the aquatic center be removed from the priority list, as West Covina Unified School District is replacing the existing Municipal Pool, with a new aquatic center. Staff is also recommending that the Shadow Oak Park improvements (i.e. restrooms and playground) be added to the Parks Needs Assessment list, as the City Council, based on significant support from the community, has identified Shadow Oak improvements, as the City's top priority for future park funds, This project was not prioritized at the February 2016 Meeting. FISCAL IMPACT: Park projects developed or improved with Measure A funds are budgeted in the General Fund, but are reimbursed by Los Angeles County from Maintenance and Servicing Funds. Measure A funds are derived from West Covina property taxes. The County of Los Angeles has estimated that the City of West Covina will receive $400,000 in annual funds for capital projects and ongoing maintenance. Measure A does not have a sunset date as previous park measures have in the past. Prepared by: —1ALvevu- Ta\m0;12,frtd;.
