BEACH AUTHORIZING AND APPROVING AN APPLICATION FOR A GRANT
IN THE AMOUNT OF $70,550 FROM THE WASTE MANAGEMENT BOARD
FOR THE REFURBISHMENT OF THE IRVINE TERRACE PARK (PHASE II)
AND MARINERS PARK PLAYGROUNDS.
ISSUE
Should the City apply for a grant from the California Integrated Waste Management
Board ( CIWMB) for the refurbishment of City playgrounds?
RECOMMENDATION
Pass Resolution 2005 -_ to apply for Tire Derived Product (TDP) Grant Funds from
CIWMB authorizing the Recreation & Senior Services Director to execute all contracts.
DISCUSSION
The California Integrated Waste Management Board appropriated over $1.7 million in
grant funds for 2005 -06 for applicants who use tire derived products in playgrounds or
play surfaces. Recycled rubber products are used as safety surfacing in the fall zones
of playgrounds surrounding the equipment. In Newport Beach we have used this type of
surfacing in many of the playgrounds and have found this to be a desirable product.
Staff has submitted an application requesting a grant in the amount of $70,550 to the
Waste Management Board. These funds will be used in two upcoming playground
refurbishment projects:
• Irvine Terrace Park (phase II)
• Mariners Park.
These funds can only be used to purchase materials and not for installation costs.
Through this grant staff anticipates that the recycled rubber surface materials used will
divert approximately 7,055 tires from landfills.
In order to receive these grant funds, the City must pass the attached Resolution and
that it be received by CIWMB by December 2, 2005.
