Parks Division Report <br />Hare reported an application was submitted for a Santa Monica Mountains <br />Conservancy Prop 68 grant for Conejo Creek Southwest in the amount of $4 million. <br />CRPD has moved to the second round for consideration for the FEMA 404 Grant for <br />future mitigation projects in the amount of $1.8 million. Moving forward, an additional <br />FEMA 406 grant application will be submitted for parks already impacted by fires. <br />B. Recreation Division Report <br />Callis reported on Financial Assistance procedures, highlighting the Spanish version <br />of the application itself. The Summer 2019 Program Guide advertised Financial <br />Assistance for the first time ever. Financial Assistance is only offered to residents of <br />our District; none have been turned away who have submitted all requested <br />documents. To date this year, 90 individuals have been granted assistance. Callis <br />demonstrated the ease of changing the language on our website from English to a <br />multitude of languages with the click of a button. <br />C. Management Services Division Report <br />Lewanda reported a change in the presentation of the Operating Budget from the <br />June 6th Board meeting to the June 20th Board meeting, with adoption scheduled for <br />the July 18th Board meeting. <br />D. General Manager's Report <br />Friedl thanked Hare for his work compiling information related to the recent fires for <br />FEMA. CRPD and the City of Thousand Oaks were complimented by the Ventura <br />County OES for their work in providing care and shelter during the recent fires. The <br />City of Thousand Oaks has a $1.8 million contract with a consultant for a <br />comprehensive general plan update. CRPD was invited to a kick-off meeting and will <br />continue to participate in the process. The City of Calabasas recently approved <br />another dog park, with a woodchip surface, at Headwaters Park near Calabasas High <br />School. CRPD staff plans to meet with a group concerned about glysophate to <br />discuss their concerns. Friedl noted the Saturday edition of the "Los Angeles Times" <br />featured Paradise Falls, which may draw more visitors to Wildwood Park. Finally, a <br />study session with a consultant is planned for the June 20th Board of Directors <br />meeting to discuss revenue options. <br />E.
