PRC § 5627 Effective Aug 13, 2003Div. 5 · Ch. 3.2 · Art. 2

Statute text

(a)Grant moneys received pursuant to this chapter shall be expended for high priority projects that satisfy the most urgent park and recreation needs, with emphasis on unmet needs in the most heavily populated and most economically disadvantaged areas within each jurisdiction.

(b)Grants received pursuant to this chapter shall be expended only for acquisition, development, or both, except that not more than 30 percent of the amount received by a city, county, or district in an annual period may be utilized for special major maintenance projects, provided the projects are related to land acquired or developed, or both, in whole or in part, with state moneys under this chapter, or for innovative recreation programs, or for both.

(c)Grants to cities, counties, and districts pursuant to this chapter shall be on the basis of 70 percent state money and 30 percent local matching money, not less than one-third of which shall be from private or nonstate sources of funds, for the project. Grants for acquisition shall be matched only by money or property donated to be part of the acquisition project. Grants for development may be matched by monetary contributions or, if nonmonetary contributions, as provided in regulations and standards which shall be established by the director after a public hearing. The component of local matching money consisting of funds from private or nonstate sources may, at the option of the grant recipient, be calculated as a percentage of the total amount granted in that fiscal year to a grant recipient, rather than on a project-by-project basis.
