Legislation Title: |
|
AN ORDINANCE relating to the Department of Neighborhoods;
authorizing implementation of certain Neighborhood Matching Fund projects in
2005, and specifying that 2005 appropriations for the Neighborhood Matching
Subfund shall carry forward automatically to future budget years. |
· Summary of the Legislation:
This proposed legislation allocates funds for 18 projects in the 2005 Neighborhood Matching Fund Subfund – Large Projects Fund.
·
Background:
The Neighborhood Matching Fund (NMF) program was
established in 1989 via Resolution 27709 to fund neighborhood-based projects
initiated and directed by people who live or own/operate businesses in a
Historically, the Mayor and Citywide Review Team (community volunteers from across the City) consider applications for the Large Projects Fund. Award recommendations for Large Projects Fund projects require support of the Mayor and approval of the City Council. This ordinance allocates funds for the Large Projects Fund projects in 2005. This set of awards totals $1,463,876, and will be matched by nearly $2.3 million in community cash or in-kind donations. (See attached list with project descriptions, award amounts, and match values.)
While funds are already appropriated in the 2005 Adopted Budget, this ordinance allocates funds to 18 specific projects, and gives the Department authority to execute public works contracts, if appropriate.
We will use $146,108 of
the portion of the appropriation made in 2004 that was not used last year and
was carried forward by virtue of Ordinance 121576.

Other
Issues
Historically, Neighborhood Matching Fund awards have been made for specific, time-related projects. These projects have a clear start and end date and are considered “done” upon completion. For those projects that result in physical improvements to non-City or other publicly-owned property, the property owner (along with the neighborhood group) will share the responsibility of ongoing operations and maintenance costs.
Of the 18 projects recommended for funding in the 2005 Large Projects awards, five will generate a higher level of O&M costs for maintenance of City-owned park property. These are:
B05002 Dahl Playfield Renovation $9,415/year
B05003 Ravenna Park Play Area Renovation $13,990/year
B05022 Bayview Kinnear Park Improvement $9,781/year
B05023 Big Howe Improvement (West Queen Anne) $5,280/year
B05027 Hitt’s Hill Habitat Restoration $5,780/year
NMF
funds will not be used to cover these costs; they will be paid for by
the Parks Department. These costs will
be incurred in 2006.
