RECORD A DEED RESTRICTION ON CITY PARK PROPERTY AT GRANADA PARK\nIN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH MEASURE A GRANT REQUIREMENTS – F2M21-18,\nM2M24-31\nThe City is eligible for Measure A grant funds which can be used for development projects\nthat include construction, enhancement, or refurbishment of park or open space elements.\nThese grants are administered by the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space\nDistrict (RPOSD) through various funding opportunities for which staff routinely apply for\npark improvement projects. At Granada Park, staff executed a grant funded under\nMeasure A for new playground equipment and surfacing. As a condition of the grants and\nin order to receive grant payments, the City must record a deed restriction on the\nproperties where the grant-funded projects will be implemented.
