We believe the following will serve as standards which can be modified as applied to specific applications. Standard Pedestrian/Equestrian Conditions of Site Development - Dedicate pedestrian/equestrian easements along (describe locations). The easement width shall be 14.0 feet (In locations where the topography or other constraints limit available width, it may be reduced to 12.0 feet.) - Prior to issuance of any certificates of occupancy and subject to the review and approval of the Parks & Recreation Commission, the applicant shall improve the pedestrian/equestrian easement(s) within the development to the "Trail Design Standards and Details" called out in the Charter 3.7 of the City's Parks and Trails Master Plan. mt 4 04 ,~'.

At the present time it is very uncertain how much CDBG money will be available. We are estimating that Saratoga's share of the discretionary CDBG funds for 1993/1994 will be approximately $157,000. The deadline for project proposals is January 15, 1993. A Public Hearing is scheduled to be held by the City Council on February 3, 1993, at which time determination will be made and proposals submitted to the County for approval by the Board of Supervisors. Attached for your information and use are: o Introduction to the Housing and Community Development Act and past HCDA-funded City projects. o A CDBG Project Proposal Submittal Form Cover Page. It is not necessary that you complete an entire form at this time. Submission of the Cover Page and a project development timetable will be enough for preliminary consideration. Please feel free. to call me if you require any additional information regarding this process. ,Q C A( Karen Campbell ~a-" , Attachments cc: City Council Printed on recycled paper. The City of Saratoga, eight other "nonentitlement" cities (population under 50,000) within Santa Clara County, and the County itself receive federal Housing and Community Development Act (HCDA) Community Development Block Grant {CDBG) funds, which are administered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), for eligible projects and activities. By regulation, nonentitlement cities receive funds by virtue of a Cooperation Agreement with the Urban County of Santa Clara {the locally responsible grant recipient). The total annual HCDA allocation to the County is expected to be approximately $2.6 million for fiscal year 1993-1994. 4f the $2.6 million, approximately $700,000 will go to a competitive pool where funds are pr~.oritized for projects/activities that contribute to increasing the supply of affordable housing in the County. Each of the seven fully participating nonentitlement cities and the County will receive approximately $157,000 for direct allocation for any HCDA eligible activity. A maximum of 15~ of the total grant may be used for public service activities. The primary objective of the HCDA is the ... "development of viable urban communities, including decent housing and a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunity principally for persons of very low and low income." The overall objective of the Act can be achieved through a program where the projected use of funds has been developed to give maximum feasible priority to activities which will carry out one of the three broad national objectives of: o Benefit very low and low income families {i.e., family of 4, $38,600 maximum annual income). o Aid the prevention or elimination of slums or blight. o Create activities designed to meet other needs having a particular urgency because existing conditions pose a serious and immediate thr®at to the health or welfare of the community and other financial resources are not available. Most previously funded City of Saratoga HCDA activity has been directed to benefit those of very low or low income.. Current grant restrictions primarily limit projects in Saratoga to the provision of housing, housing related services, and disabled access modifications . t PAST AND PRESENT HCDA FUNDED CITY ACTIVITY The City of Saratoga has received approximately $3,897,000 in Block Grant funding since 1975. The following is a list of HCDA activity in the City. 1. Housing rehabilitation for single family residences 2. Housing rehabilitation, multi-family and group housing 3. Park development and handicap access modification 4. Clearance and demolition 5. Village beautification and historical preservation 6. Senior citizen needs assessment 7. Senior citizen housing--landbanking and acquisition 8. Senior Center--needs assessment, construction, and addition 9. Housing element to general plan 10.

M E M O R A N D U M T0: PARKS & RECREATION COMMISSION FROM: BOB RIZZO 'fin'' SUBJECT: CURRENT STATUS OF ONGOING PARK MAINTENANCE PROJECTS The purpose of this memo is to update the Parks & Recreation Commission on the ongoing Park development and maintenance projects. Following is the current status of these projects. Beauchamps Park Due to a delay in shipment of the play equipment, the Engineering Department granted an extension of this contract. The playground equipment is now being installed and the hydroseeding is scheduled for early December. The contractor has a 60-day maintenance period and staff estimates that the maintenance of this new park should start in February of 1993. Wildwood Park There are four on-going projects currently working at Wildwood Park. 1) Pedestrian Bridge The wooden bridge currently under construction is now scheduled to be completed by early December. Staff has been informed by the Contractor that the bridge has been submitted for an architectural award. 2) Wildwood Park Stage As explained to the Commission, the Contractor currently constructing the bridge provided the City with an excellent proposal to reconstruct the stage. It is currently being rebuilt and should be finished by mid-December. Parks & Recreation Commission Status of Ongoing Park Maintenance Projects November 25, 1992 3) Wildwood Park Improvements Currently, the plans and specifications are still in the Engineering Department and hopefully, they will prepare the bidding documents soon. Council will then need to review the project and authorize the bidding. The City Engineer has informed staff that his Department has a very heavy workload and hopefully this project will go out to bid by Spring of 1993. 4) Wildwood Park Tree Pruning Poriect Staff has received four firm proposals to prune eight large trees at Wildwood Park. The bids ranged from the low bid of ;4,064 to a high bid of ;9,695. Arbor Care of San Jose was the low bidder and staff has received favorable references from the Town of Los Gatos and the City of Santa Clara regarding their pasts work performances. This project should start in early December. Warner Hutton House Landscaping The City Engineer told me that the City will bid as soon as they receive construction drawings and specifications from the County. E1 4uito Park Senior Par-Course Recently, the Saratoga Optimist Club, as a public service project, refurbished the senior par-course and reconstructed one of the horseshoe backstops. The Oprimist Club did an excellent job and we are very greatful for their outstanding volunteer effort. If you have any questions regarding these projects or any other items, please feel free to contact me. mt December 1, 1992 M E M O RAND U M T0: Parks & Recreation Commission FROM: Dan Trinidad, Secretary SUBJECT: STATUS OF PARK DEVELOPMENT FUND The following is taken from the "Treasurer's Report of Fund Balances" dated September 31, 1992. October Fund ~ 6 30 93 Revenue Expense 9/30/92 Park 490, 618 8,160 156, 962 341,81b Development As of November 30, 1992, we show an additional expense of $16,711 for Beauchamps Park. Additional outstanding incumberance of $67,048 for the following: Beauchamps Park (Collishaw) $46,808 Beauchamps Park (WRT) 1,163 Wildwood Ped. Bridge (Lionsgate) 5,700 Wildwood Ped. Bridge (Engr.} 64 Wildwood Park Stage 13,313 After accounting for these expenses and incumberances, the fund balance is $258,057, not counting any revenue received after October 31, 1992. Additional projects which are presently shown to be funded from this fund in the "Capital Project Appropriation Estimates" during this 92/93 fiscal year are: Quito Park 945 $ 15,000 Hakone Water System 981 108,500 Hakone Entrance 9103 50,000 Ravenwood Park 9114 ~ 25,000 Parks & Recreation Commission Status of Park Development Fund Page 2 ----------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------- 93/94 Fiscal Year Azule Park 30,000 Hakone Entrance 50,000 94/95 Fiscal Year Kevin Moran Park 500,000 Azule Park 200,000 While we anticipate continuing revenues to this fund (the City collects $8,160 per lot at time of development) and a portion of these projects will be funded from State Park Bonds, it is obvious that this fund cannot be looked at as a limitless source of money. mt EVENT CHRONOLOGY WILDWOOD STAGE REPAIR: 1) COMMISSIONERS DETERMINED IT A HIGHEST PRIORITY ITEM MEETING OF JULY 6, 1992 (ATTACHED).
