2. YOUTH ENDOWMENT SERVICES Fund Grant Award Realignment:
During the Fiscal Year (FY) 2002-03 Youth Endowment Services (YES) Fund Grant Cycle, the Burbank Unified School District (BUSD) was awarded two separate grants: a grant award of $15,000 to be used at John Burroughs High School (JBHS) for extending the first base foul ball baseline overhang by ten feet; and, a grant award of $10,000 for re-lamping the baseball field lights at JBHS�s Memorial Field.
As the BUSD commenced with the work on the Memorial Field baseball lights it was determined that the fixtures had not caused the light failures and did not need replacing. Therefore, none of the BUSD�s $10,000 YES Fund Grant Award was utilized for fixing the Memorial Field lights. The JBHS Foul Ball Netting Project also began as BUSD�s structural engineer analysis suggested that four poles with the height of 50 feet be installed with the netting along the Keystone Street perimeter fence to meet wind load factor requirements. The total project cost for this safer alternative would be $25,000.
At their January 21, 2004 meeting, the YES Fund Advisory Committee agreed to recommend to the City Council, Redevelopment Agency Board and the YES Fund Board to approve the reprogramming of the previously-awarded YES Fund Grants toward the new project scope of the Foul Ball Netting Project.
Since the grant reprogramming does not include any increase in, or additional funding for the BUSD, there is no direct fiscal impact. It is important to note that this proposal was approved by the YES Fund Advisory Committee at the January 21, 2004 meeting prior to the recommendation to appropriate the remaining balance or FY 2003-04 YES Fund dollars to the Ovrom Park Project.
Recommendation:
Adoption of proposed resolution entitled:
A RESOLUTION OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF BURBANK AUTHORIZING THE REALLOCATION OF A GRANT AWARD OF YES FUNDS TO BURBANK UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT.
3. Remaining Youth Endowment Services Fund Unappropriated Balance Designation Towards the Robert �Bud� Ovrom Park Project:
At the July 11, 2000 joint meeting of the City Council, Redevelopment Agency Board and the Youth Endowment Services (YES) Fund Board, authorization was given to expend the entire year-end fund balances of the Redevelopment Tax Increment Fund toward the YES Fund Grant Award Program. Any remaining funds after awards were issued would be designated towards the Ovrom Park Project and held in a YES Fund account until expenditure for the project was needed.
At the end of Fiscal Year (FY) 2002-03, $792,799 of undesignated funds in the YES Fund 130 remained after awards were issued and are available for the Ovrom Park Project.
At their January 21, 2004 meeting, the YES Fund Advisory Committee recommended that the remaining YES Funds at the end of FY 2003-04 be designated towards the Ovrom Park Project. This amount is estimated at $553,300 and staff recommends these estimated funds be appropriated through the FY 2003-04 budget process.
Recommendation:
Adoption of proposed resolution entitled:
A RESOLUTION OF THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF THE CITY OF BURBANK AUTHORIZING CERTAIN YOUTH ENDOWMENT SERVICES EXPENDITURES FOR THE ROBERT �BUD� OVROM PARK PROJECT.
END OF CONSENT CALENDAR
RECESS to continue the Housing Authority, Youth Endowment Services Fund Board and City Council meetings.
