RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH TO ACCEPT A $200,000 GRANT FROM THE CALIFORNIA COASTAL CONSERVANCY FOR THE MUNICIPAL PIER RENOVATION PROJECT

Recommendation

It is recommended by staff that Council adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the City to accept a $200,000 grant from the California Coastal Conservancy for the Municipal Pier Renovation Project.

Background

The California Coastal Conservancy is a State agency whose purpose is to assist with capital projects involving the acquisition or resource enhancement of coastal lands.

Since the inception of the Pier design process, the Coastal Conservancy has assisted the City with: (a) grant funds for preliminary designs, (b) participation in the Pier design competition process, and (c) technical support through the design phase of project development.

At the March 27, 1997 meeting, Council approved the conceptual design for the Pier which included a preliminary budget that anticipated the allocation of this $200,000 grant ( Attachment B) .

Analysis

The City's grant application has received staff approval from the Conservancy. On June 26, the Mayor and staff will be in attendance at a Coastal Conservancy meeting in Sacramento to obtain final approval for these funds from the Board.

The Conservancy requires that a resolution be adopted prior to the Board meeting that authorizes the City to accept the grant funds and that allows the City Manager to negotiate and execute the final terms of the contract.

Fiscal Impact: $200,000 Revenue to Pier Renovation Project
