Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
At the November 3, 2026, meeting the Board discussed the grant application for a California Department of Parks and Recreation Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Program Round 5 Grant for the Bower Park Improvements Phase 3 Project and directed staff to bring forward the required resolution on consent at the next regular Board Meeting.
On January 24, 2023, the Board of Supervisors adopted a Resolution approving the application for a specified grant for the Bower Park Restoration and Improvement project. Subsequent actions included approving plans and contracts to complete phase 1 for the removal of hazardous trees and phase 2 for the restoration and improvement project, and the approval of a second amendment to Agreement BOS 23-188 with Integra Landscape Architecture in part to assist in pursuing future grant opportunities.
Summary of Request:
Adoption of the resolution is required by the California Department of Parks and Recreation for the submission of the Statewide Park Development and Community Revitalization Round 5 Grant Program. It contains certain certifications by the County, and delegates authority to the Chief Executive Officer or designee to conduct all negotiations, sign and submit all documents including, but not limited to, applications, Agreements, amendments and payment requests which may be necessary for the completion of the Bower Park Improvements Phase 3 Project.
Staff will submit an application for the Bower Park Improvements Phase 3 Project based on the Bower Park Future Improvements - Full Program Estimate document attached as part of this agenda item. The present estimate of this project is $4.6 million dollars, however this amount may change as staff finalizes the application. The maximum grant request per application is $8.5 million dollars. Pursuant to the Application Guide for the Grant Program, the grant amount itself may fund the entire project and no local match is required.
The approval to file the application supports the efforts of the Mendocino Coast Recreation and Parks District to assist the County in obtaining additional funds to help complete improvements necessary to modernize Bower Park.
