Eastview Park Playground and Accessibility Improvements
(Grant # 58H4-12-2264)
Background
The City of Rancho Palos Verdes received funds pursuant to the Safe
Neighborhood Park Proposition (Proposition `A') of 1992 and 1996 to fund the
above named project. The project at Eastview Park includes:
Removal and replacement of the playground equipment to comply with safety
and ADA requirements; and, improvement of existing ramps, renovation of
existing restrooms, and, installation of picnic tables in accordance with ADA
guidelines.
Tasks That Maybe Performed by At-Risk Youth:
The City has exceeded its YEP-obligated goal, and since the majority of the
project's scope of work required skilled laborers, youth did not work at the
construction phase of this project.
Estimated Cost of Youth Employment:
The cost of youth employment is not applicable to this project. However, the City
will continue to pursue the employment of youth to the extent feasible on other
grant-funded projects.
Method of Youth Employment:
The City will continue to utilize local Conservation Corps to assist on projects,
whenever feasible.
Youth Employment Goal:
In January 2010, the City met its total youth employment goal of$324,501. To
date, by continued employment of the local Conservation Corps, the City has
exceeded its YEP goal.
