City Council Agenda Item Report
Submitted by: Lissette Melendez
Submitting Department: Public Works
Meeting Date: July 19, 2022
SUBJECT
Restricted Grant Agreements with the California Department of Transportation (CalTrans)
Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution No. 2022-24 authorizing the Director of Public Works to execute all
Restricted Grant Agreements with the State of California, acting by and through the
Department of Transportation.
Background:
The City applied for and was awarded a grant through the Clean California Local Grant
Program (CCLGP) for $1,663,736 for the construction of the Vernon Fitness Park (Project).
Local Assistance programs like the CCLGP, funded with state-only funds are reimbursable
programs. In order for CalTrans to pay funds to a Local Public Agency, such as the City, for
grant funded projects, a Local Public Agency must enter into a Restricted Grant Agreement
with the State.
A Restricted Grant Agreement defines the general terms and conditions which must be met to
receive funds from the program for specific projects. CalTrans requires the City Council to
declare by resolution certain authorizations relating to the execution of these Restricted Grant
Agreements for restricted funds to be paid to the City. The adoption of Resolution No. 2022-24
authorizes the Director of Public Works to execute such agreements and any amendments
thereto, and to sign agreements and certifications required by CalTrans throughout the Project
to help ensure more timely payments to the City.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact associated with this report.
