Statement of Issue:
The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) developed the Clean California Local Grant Program through which approximately $296 million in funds will be awarded to local communities to improve public spaces including local streets and roads, parks, pathways, and transit centers. The City submitted a grant application for the Oak View Neighborhood Cleanup and Beautification Project to add beautification elements, trees, and art in public spaces, as well as remove litter and debris to enhance spaces for walking and recreation. Caltrans notified the City that it has been awarded a $5 million grant, and this Council action is requesting authorization to accept those funds for the Project.
Financial Impact:
Caltrans is awarding $5 million to the City for street and beautification improvements in Oak View. Although there is no matching requirement, the City will be responsible for any costs exceeding $5 million. As the project is being designed, every effort will be made to deliver a project targeting $5 million. If the project costs exceed the grant amount, additional funding will need to be identified.
