<br />July 10, 1974
<br />A Special Meeting of the City Council of the City of Colton was held on the above given date
<br />in the Council Chambers in the Civic Center, located at 650 North La Cadena Drive, Colton,
<br />California, at 5:00 p. m., Mayor Huntoon presiding.
<br />Notice of Special Meeting was given on July 9, 1974, in compliance with Government Code
<br />Section 54956.
<br />ROLL CALL:
<br />Council members present were Hayes, Spragins, Rehrer, Gonzales and Mayor Huntoon. Also
<br />present were City Manager Huffaker, City Attorney Hutton, City Clerk Ramos, Planning Director
<br />Williams, and Recreation Director Lofy,
<br />1974 State Grant, Parks Bond Issue.
<br />City Manager Huffaker stated the propose for the Special Meeting this afternoon is to designate
<br />a representative from the City of Colton for the Park Bond Issue funds and to adopt resolutions
<br />for the application of the 1974 State Grant funds.
<br />Mr. Huffaker continued that Council will recall in the latter part of spring of this year,
<br />the Recreation and Parks Commission made various recommendations, which was agreed upon by
<br />the City Council, for park improvements and additions.
<br />Mr. Huffaker advised that the City of Colton's allocation of State funds amounts to $58,000,
<br />and our application must be in Sacramento by July 15, 1974, to qualify for this year.
<br />Mr. Huffaker said that since submitting the cost figures and proposed improvements for the
<br />parks, there have been some changes and additions and therefore, some new items that will
<br />come under the $58,000. Mr. Huffaker said his recommendation at this time to the Council
<br />would be that the items to be excluded, Davis Park and the two Mini -Parks, will be taken
<br />care of by the $151,000 appropriated in the budget for Park improvements to accomplish these
<br />things.
<br />Mr. Huffaker concluded that the Planning Director George Williams has been working on the
<br />application for the State Grant funds, and he will explain the action necessary.
<br />Mr. George Williams, Planning Director, stated that Mr. Huffaker has covered the subject very
<br />well, and then explained that Davis Park, and the two Mini -Parks have been excluded at this
<br />time from the application for the funds.
<br />Mr. Williams explained to the Council members what will be included at Veterans Park, for
<br />a total Grant request of $17,834., and what will be included at Municipal Park, for a total
<br />Grant request of $40,778.
<br />Mr. Williams said it was necessary to delete certain items in order to stay within the $58,000
<br />alloted for our City.
<br />Councilman Hayes stated that in other words, these items that have been deleted will be
<br />covered by the funds appropriated for the Parks budget.
<br />Mr. Huffaker answered this is correct, there are funds available in the Parks budget for
<br />these items, which were anticipated priority items and agreed upon by the Commission and
<br />Council.
<br />Councilman Hayes said that he feels very strongly about Davis Park, and inasmuch as the Recre-
<br />ation and Parks Commission had spent a great deal of time and effort on these recommendations,
<br />and also that Davis Park is very badly needed in that area, and he would like to see this
<br />park improved and completed.
<br />Councilman Rehrer questioned the $15,000 and asked where this money is coming from.
<br />Mr. Huffaker explained that this amount of money had been placed in the Parks budget, and
<br />has been earmarked for the park improvements.
<br />Mayor Huntoon asked what action is necessary at this point.
<br />Mr. Huffaker explained there are two resolutions, for each park, designating the City Manager
<br />as the authorized representative and approves the projects of each park.
<br />On motion of Councilman Gonzales, seconded by Councilwoman Spragins and unanimously passed,
<br />Resolution No. 3446 was approved:
<br />RESOLUTION NO. 3446 - RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLTON APPROVING THE
<br />APPLICATION FOR 1974 STATE GRANT FUNDS, MUNICIPAL PARK DEVELOPMENT
<br />PROJECT.
<br />On motion of Councilman Hayes, seconded by Councilman Gonzales and unanimously passed, Reso-
<br />lution No. 3447 was approved:
<br />RESOLUTION NO. 3447 - RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COLTON APPROVING THE
<br />APPLICATION FOR 1974 STATE GRANT FUNDS, VETERANS PARK DEVELOPMENT
