Presenter: Parks and Recreation Director Recommendation: 1. The City Council is requested to consider awarding Consultant Services Contract to the SWA Landscape Architects for the playground renovations at Live Oak Park and Temple City Park and authorize the City Manager to enter into a Contract once reviewed and approved as to form by City Attorney; 2. Approve a budget amendment in the amount $236,000 from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, Fund 14; and 3. Find that the Playground Renovation project is not subject to CEQA review pursuant to 15302(b), which exempts from CEQA review projects that replace an existing structure with a new structure that is substantially the same size, purpose and capacity. This agenda item meets the criteria for this exemption because the playground structure will replace the same existing feature at Live Oak Park and Temple City Park.
