EXPLANATION:
in May of 2010 the City of National City granted $200,000 to the Sweetwater Union High School District
("District") to renovate the football field at Sweetwater Union High School. The centerpiece of the facility
would be a synthetic turf multi -sport field. Since 2010, the District has applied for several other funding
sources to leverage City and District funds including a $200,000 grant from the San Diego Chargers and
$700,000 from the Community Sports Development Council. The remaining gap to build the $2.2 million
facility has been committed from District Proposition 0 bond funds. The grant agreement term lapsed on
June 30, 2012 and additional time is needed to complete the project. The contract amendment requires that
the CDBG funds committed be fully expended by March 31, 2013 to insure the timely expenditure of the
grant funds but the District would have until June 30, 2014 to complete the project. Construction of the
facility is planned to begin in the second quarter of 2013 and the CDBG funds awarded will be used to cover
eligible project -related costs. The District's CDBG grant application pledged that the facility would be
accessible to the community of National City. The City and School District have developed a joint -use
agreement that would facilitate public access to the facility.
