DISCUSSION: A pedestrian bridge to cross Atascadero Creek between EI Camino Real and Lewis Ave is part of the Atascadero Downtown Revitalization Plan. This bridge is in the preliminary design stages with staff and the Atascadero Creek Advisory Group looking at bridge types and landing locations. City Staff submitted an application to the Recreational Trails Program for construction funding of the Bridge on October 3, 2005. These are federal funds administered through the California State Department of Parks and Recreation and supply 80% of the funding. A 20% local match is required. Applications will be reviewed and projects to receive funding will be chosen by the end of December. A Resolution of local commitment is required as part of the application. The Resolution must state that the City approves filing the application, certifies it has sufficient funds to operate and maintain the project, and appoints the Public Works Director to execute documents relating to the funding. Staff was notified of the grant opportunity one week prior to the submittal deadline and did not have time to gain Redevelopment Agency approval of the Resolution. Staff will be bringing the Bridge design and details to the Atascadero City Council for final approval. If the grant is approved, staff will come to the Redevelopment Agency for allocation of the match. FISCAL IMPACT: Construction costs are estimated to be $400,000.00. Staff is requesting the match be provided by the Redevelopment Agency if the grant is approved. 5 DRAFT RESOLUTION RESOLUTION OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF ATASCADERO APPROVING THE APPLICATION FOR GRANT FUNDS FROM THE RECREATIONAL TRAILS PROGRAM WHEREAS, the Transportation Equity Act For The 21" Century provides funds to the State of California for grants to state, local and non-profit organizations to acquire, develop and/or maintain motorized and non -motorized trail purposes; and WHEREAS, the State Department of Parks and Recreation has been delegated the responsibility for the administration of the program within the State, setting up necessary procedures governing project application under the program; and WHEREAS, said procedures established by the State Department of Parks and Recreation require the applicant to certify, by resolution, the approval of application before submission of said application to the State; and WHEREAS, the applicant will enter into an agreement with the State of California to complete the project; and WHEREAS, The Redevelopment Agency of the City of Atascadero is planning to construct a Pedestrian Bridge across Atascadero Creek, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Redevelopment Agency of the City of Atascadero hereby: 1.
