Parklands: Centerville Park.

The California Wildlife, Coastal, and Park Land Conservation Act (conservation act) authorizes grants to be made by the Department of Parks and Recreation to cities, counties, districts, and nonprofit organizations for specified purposes, including purposes related to parks. The conservation act requires property acquired, developed, rehabilitated, or restored pursuant to the conservation act to be used only for purposes of the conservation act and prohibits any other use of the property, except as authorized by the Legislature. This bill would authorize the City of Fremont to transfer to the Fremont Unified School District up to 4.6 acres of parkland in Centerville Park if certain conditions are met, including that the transferred property only be used for a public school facility. The bill would require the city to sign an agreement with the department relating to the transfer that includes a requirement that the city spend no less than $5,000,000 to develop a replacement neighborhood park by June 30, 2023. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
