Description/Analysis
IssueDetail
Issue Detail: The State of California awarded $500,000 to the City of Sacramento in grant funds for North Natomas Regional Park Phase 7 Improvements through Senate Bill (SB) 105 Section 0540-103-0001 (Amendment to Budget Act of 2025) which makes appropriations for the support of local government projects and programs. This allocation was made at the request of Senator Angelique Ashby.
The California Natural Resources Agency (CNRA) is the lead state agency for these grant funds. As a condition of receiving the grant funds, CNRA requires the Council to adopt a resolution, using CRNA’s template, that does the following: accepts the grant funding, makes required certifications, and appoints the City Manager or the City Manager’s designee as agent to conduct all negotiations and execute and submit all documents required to complete the grant (Attachment 2).

PolicyConsiderations
Policy Considerations: The recommendations contained in this report are consistent with Sacramento City Code Section 3.04.020, which requires Council authorization to enter an agreement greater than or equal to $250,000; and City Council Resolution 2025-0162, which requires Council authorization to obtain governing board of approval for a grant award, establish an operating grant and distribute subaward grants of $250,000 or more.
The grant funding will enable the City to provide parks and recreation facilities, which is consistent with the City’s strategic plan to enhance livability in Sacramento’s neighborhoods through the provision of parks, recreation, and trail facilities throughout the City.
