On November 2006, the City Council adopted a resolution approving an extension for a consulting services agreement, between the City of Lynwood and Legislative Advocacy Group to secure funding for the Ham Park Replacement Project and to pursue further legislative priorities. Mr. Leal presented a status report and follow up on his efforts to secure funding for Ham Park. The application was finalized. The application was received on September 5, 2007 by the Office of Public School Construction (OPSC). They are in the process of assigning a project manager to go through the appeal. Along with the application, the OPSC received two boxes of documents in support of the application. The OPSC will make a recommendation to the State Allocation Board and at that point; the State Allocation Board will make a decision. The time frame for such applications is between 90 and 120 days. The Law Firm of Sullivan Workman and Dee worked on the initial application to secure funding. Mr. Leal would like to move forward by securing there services. The Legislative Advocacy Group is coordinating their efforts with the OPSC and Kevin De Leon, from the State Allocation Board. Teresa Villegas stated that the Legislative Advocacy Group is securing funding by various angles, such as the SAB process and the various bond measures that were passed last year by voters in the State of California. They are also seeking additional funding from various local sources such as the Rivers and Mountains Conservancy. Member Santillan stated that the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors allocated funding to Paramount and Long Beach for five different parks. Teresa Villegas stated that the funding is through Proposition A. Through working with Supervisor's Burk's office, the Legislative Advocacy Group has been able to secure additional funding for the development phase of Ham Park.
