April. 25, 2002 Page 3 B. Adoption Of Resolution Number 042502-A Authorizing Submittal Of An Application To California Integrated Waste Management Board For 200212003 Playground Cover Grant Program Sorensen stated that the Waste Tire Playground Cover Grant Program encourages the reduction of landfill disposal, and awards grants of up to $25,000 on a competitive basis; the District's share would be $12,500, for a total project cost of $37,500; and Conejo Creek North Park is next on the priority list of play areas to be renovated because of high usage and needed repairs of existing surface. In response to Board inquiries, Sorensen explained that two previous grant applications have been successful, previous ground covering was installed at the site in 1991, the tire material is more expensive than sand, but sand does not comply with ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act). It was moved by Lange, seconded by Gibson, and carred 5-0 to adopt Resolution Number 042502-A, authorizing staff to submit an application to the California Integrated Waste Management Board for the purpose of securing a grant for playground surfacing at Conejo Creek North park; that it be read in title only and all further readings be waived.
