Top issues during term (8)(Parks Rec)
After-school, youth sports and senior program funding agreements
Pioneer Park rebuild is estimated around $10 million, dependent on grants and possible private donations.
Indoor sports and recreation facility on Lower Azusa Road
Merced Avenue Stormwater Capture Project – Linear Park and Bike Trail
Construction is estimated at $17.3 million — nearly double the original $8.7 million request — but Caltrans is chipping in $5.9 million and grants are pending, so no city general fund dollars are expected.
Zamora Park opens after nine-year renovation
Project cost was covered by multiple funding sources; no new cost to approve.
Park access shortfall in El Monte
Pioneer Park concept design
The project is at or near its budget cap, which is why the design team is weighing cheaper path materials against the community's preferred cushioned walking track.
El Monte Aquatic Center Water Slide Replacement
Not-to-exceed expenditure of $989,183.
Pioneer Park federal funding
$2 million in federal funds are on the way for the park.
