Summary
Staff announced the state’s Phase 5 Proposition 68 grants will likely open for applications in 2026 (historically due in August/September) and recommended finishing the parks master plan by May to support competitive applications.
Adam (City staff) informed the commission that the state has announced a Phase 5 cycle of Proposition 68 grants for park creation and rehabilitation. Specific application details — including opening date and deadline — have not yet been released, but staff said the application window will likely occur in 2026 and that historically the deadline falls in August or September.
Adam recommended that the commission aim to complete the parks master plan by May so staff can reference the plan in grant applications, noting the plan’s implementation matrix would help demonstrate project readiness to funders.
Next steps: staff will monitor the state release and bring possible grant application opportunities to the commission as details become available.
