BACKGROUND /REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS
The Martinez Unified School District(the District) requests park dedication funds to finance
the installation of a shade structure at Las Juntas Elementary School located at 4105
Pacheco Boulevard in the unincorporated County. It is the policy of the County to utilize
park dedication funds to meet local park needs. Staff has determined that this request is
consistent with that policy and is consistent with the District's plan to improve the recreation
area at Las Juntas which is used by the students and residents of the surrounding
neighborhoods.
The recreation area at Las Juntas consists of an open play field, a play structure, a
quarter-mile running track, and basketball court. Not only is the recreation area used by
students during the school year, but according to the District, many community members
walk the track in the early mornings, evenings and on weekends;the basketball courts are
frequently busy with neighborhood pick-up games; and the play structure is used by
children during non-school hours, In addition, the large play field is used by the Heritage
Soccer Association. The District has stated its commitment to continue to provide
community access to this recreation area during all non-school hours.
The District proposes to install a 90x20 feet shade structure near the entrance to the play
area. This structure, which is pre-approved by the Department of State Architect, will
provide much needed shade to users of the recreation area during the hot summer months
and protection during inclement weather. The District has received a bid in the amount of
$339210 that includes the cost of the structure, upgraded galvanized support poles, and
installation. If the Board approves this request, the project is expected to take two months
to complete and the balance in the Park Dedication account(32001)will be approximately
$329 0000
