This resolution will allow City staff to apply for a Statewide Park Program grant available through
Proposition 84 (Safe Drinking Water Bond Act of 2006). This grant will apply for approximately $2.5
Million in funds for improvements for a portion of Kimball Way between the rear Wal-Mart driveway and
F Avenue to park space through the California State Parks Department. The improvements listed in the

improvements. These improvements include Paradise Creek greenway improvements, a footbridge
over Paradise Creek, garden plots intended for use by the residents of the adjacent Senior Village
complex, a playground, a picnic area, and a new trail.
Two public workshops will be held to allow the community to provide input into the recreational elements
