Description/Analysis
IssueDetail
Issue Detail: On December 14, 2023, the Sacramento City Council passed a resolution to accept a grant award of $20 million in state community reinvestment funds (Resolution 2023-0359), from the California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA). The grant is authorized through Assembly Bill (AB) 178, Budget Act of 2022.
The State funding for the Parkway Projects, in the total amount of $10,000,000 (the "Parkway Grant"), is targeted to fund certain projects to improve access to the Lower American River Parkway. The State funding for the Community Reinvestment Projects, in the total amount of $13,050,000 (the "Community Grant"), is targeted to fund projects and programs to improve existing facilities, implement capital improvements, enhance community livability, improve public health and safety, and respond to the needs and interests of a diverse range of communities across the City and County of Sacramento.
The City is the "Grantee" for the Parkway Grant and Community Grant and has entered into the applicable State Grant Agreement (Agreement No. GF2130-0). The Department of Youth Parks and Community Enrichment (YPCE) seeks City Council authorization to pass through state grant funds of $4,280,000 to University Enterprises, Incorporated for the California State University, Sacramento Innovation Center for Early Childhood Education (ICECE) Project. The ICECE will be able to provide free professional development, technical assistance, and program evaluation to early childhood educators and caregivers, and will create an early childhood education network to share best practices and improve education outcomes. Sacramento State ICECE will be established on Sacramento State’s Campus.
