In March 2002, California voters approved the California Clean Water, Clean Air, Safe Neighborhood Parks, and Coastal Protection Act (Proposition 40). The State Legislature has allocated funds to the Balwin Hills and Urban Watershed Conservancy for capital outlay and local assistance projects within the designated territory.
These funds are intended for the acquisition, development, rehabilitation, restoration, interpretation, and protection of land, as well as the creation of educational resources in accordance with the Conservancy’s statutory purpose. Projects awarded funding under this grant program will be implemented through a standard grant agreement between the project applicant and BHUWC, with BHUWC staff overseeing the Proposition 40 grant and project implementation. The resolution is necessary to proceed with the application to the Baldwin Hills and Urban Watershed Conservancy (BHUWC) for funding to support bathroom upgrades at Holly Park and Jim Thorpe Park.
