SUBJECT: AUTHORIZATION TO APPLY FOR GRANT FUNDS — WASTE TIRE
PLAYGROUND COVER GRANT
CAO RECOMMENDATION
1) Authorize staff to apply for a grant through the California Integrated Waste
Management Board for funding under the Waste Tire Playground Cover Grant
Program for installation of playground surfacing at Laguna Hills Park.
2) Adopt a resolution supporting the grant submittal to the California Integrated Waste
Management Board for Laguna Hills Park Playground Replacement.
DISCUSSION
The California Integrated Waste Management Board (CIWMB) is the administrator of grant
funds for use of waste tires used in surfacing material in public park playground as established
by Assembly Bill 1843. Laguna Hills Park playground is scheduled for replacement in 2002-03.
A major component of the project includes installation of a poured-in place surfacing to allow
for more accessible play areas, reduce maintenance costs, and address existing containment
issues with sand flowing from the upper playground to the lower play area.
Staff would like to pursue grant funds for Laguna Hills Park to assist with the costs for providing
accessible surfacing. The maximum amount that can be requested is $25,000 with requirements
that there be a 50% match and that 50% of the grant funds be used towards the purchase of
surfacing that contains 100% recycled tire materials from California. Public outreach regarding
the use of recycled waste tires in the playground surfacing through signage and promotions is
also required of the successful applicant.
FISCAL IMPACT
Council approved$155,800 toward the Laguna Hills Park playground replacement project for
2002-03,therefore can match 50% of the maximum amount of the grant if awarded at $25,000.
A successful application will offset close to one-sixth of the costs already approved for the
proj ect.
