WHEREAS, in Spring 2016, one of the eight 60-foot tall ballfield light poles at Las
Palmas Park collapsed due to deterioration of the base. City staff immediately secured the site,
removed the pole, and performed an inspection; and
WHEREAS, based on the inspection, two more Tight poles were removed due to
similar structural issues; and
WHEREAS, the City is currently renting a 60-foot tall portable light tower for a
monthly cost of $4,000 to supplement the remaining five ballfield lights; and
WHEREAS, as a result of the lighting issues at Las Palmas Park, staff inspected
the lights at El Toyon Park and discovered that all of the lights for the eastern section of El
Toyon Park needed to be removed due to issues with structural integrity.
WHEREAS, the cost to purchase and install new lighting, conduit, wiring, pull
boxes, and electrical equipment for new ballfield lighting at Las Palmas Park and new lighting
for the eastern section of El Toyon Park is estimated to be approximately $900,000; and
WHEREAS, in order to minimize impact to the General Fund, staff is
recommending the following City Council actions to fund the project: 1) release $514,172 from
State Grant Fund 348 fund balance to the General Fund fund balance; 2) appropriate $814,172
to corresponding CIP expenditure accounts for El Toyon Park and Las Palmas Park
Improvements from General Fund fund balance; and 3) appropriate $89,019.93 in the El Toyon
Park Improvements CIP account from Park and Recreation Capital Outlay Fund fund balance.
These actions would result in a net decrease to General Fund fund balance of $300,000.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
National City hereby authorizes the following actions: 1) release $514,172 from State Grant
Fund 348 fund balance to the General Fund fund balance; 2) appropriate $814,172 to
corresponding CIP expenditure accounts for El Toyon Park and Las Palmas Park Improvements
from General Fund fund balance; and 3) appropriate $89,019.93 in the El Toyon Park
Improvements CIP account from Park and Recreation Capital Outlay Fund fund balance.
