CITY OF COLTON AGENDA REPORT For Council Meeting of MARCH 6, 1990 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council FROM: RICH HOLMER, HUMAN SERVICES DIRECTORP+� I SUBJECT: APPROVAL OF RESOLUTION AND A JOINT VENTURE Date: FEBRUARY 28, 199 AGREEMENT WITH LOS PADRINOS OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, INC. TO SUBMIT A GRANT PROPOSAL TO THE CALIFORNIA YOUTH AUTHORITY FOR THE CONSTRUCTION OF A YOUTH CENTER In 1988 the California Electorate, for the first time, approved a twenty- five million dollar bond issue for the construction, acquisition, or renovation of youth centers and youth shelters, and to purchase equipment for such facilities up to a limit of one million dollars per grant, for a total of not more than 25 million dollars. The California Department of the Youth Authority has recently issued Requests for Proposals for these monies. Acquisition of these funds would allow the City to construct a regional youth service center. To strengthen our proposal, staff determined that a joint venture between the City of Colton and Los Padrinos of Southern California, Inc. would offer a comprehensive and innovative array of programs and services available to youth and their families. Although the City's focus would remain with the youth of Colton, Los Padrinos serves a wider area and, therefore, developing a regional youth center would be looked upon favorably by the funding agency. The City is requesting $1 million for the construction and furnishing of a approximate 15,000 square foot facility to be located at the City's Westside Park. Programs and services that would emanate from this center would include counseling and administrative offices of Los Padrinos of Southern California, Inc., recreational programs, after school childcare, delinquency prevention, drug abuse and suicide prevention, gang intervention, resource and referral, youth employment, health and fitness activities, cultural arts, and runaway assistance. A match of 25% is required by the State as part of the grant proposal. Eligible match costs include architectural programming and design, current market value of a site already owned by the application, and management an, administrative costs up to 4% of the total project. Staff has determined that the City presently has eligible matching funds to meet the match requirements for the grant proposal. Attachments: Resolution �oint Venture Agreement Item No. age 1 of -2—
