The aerial truck ($1,352,000) is proposed to be replaced in 2022. A committee from LCFD is currently meeting to determine appropriate the vehicle to be purchased based on the current and future needs of the department. All large fire vehicles and equipment have been included in the plan due to the large replacement cost. If an item will not be replaced by 2025, the anticipated replacement costs are identified in the future column. Parks & Recreation Department (Page 22-23) The Parks & Recreation Commission has continued to be involved in Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) planning. The Commission sets three priorities for the year, which helps staff work towards those goals. For 2020, the top priorities by the Parks & Recreation Commission were to complete the Gervais Mill entrance, to complete the Pioneer Park Master Plan process, and to complete the Spooner Park Lower Shelter. These projects were scheduled for 2020, but due to many factors including the pandemic, they have been moved to 2021 for completion and remain the top priorities of the Parks and Recreation Commission. The Parks Master Plan is also being used as a guiding document to program Parks & Recreation capital projects. It should be noted that financial considerations were not a part of the Parks Master Plan. The plan is meant to guide future park decisions based on the input that was received during the planning process. As projects that were identified in the Parks Master Plan are added to the CIP, a plan for financing these projects will need to be developed. Highlights of the 2021 projects are as follows: • Gervais Mill Entrance - Upgrade and enhance the Gervais Mill Park Entrance (Noel Street side). The Parks & Recreation recommended a preliminary design in 2019, and it was bid in 2020. Due to the high cost of the bid, the project was moved to 2021. The project has increased from $51,750 to $110,000. • Spooner Park Lower Shelter – $75,000 for a new larger open-air shelter for rental to better serve the needs of the community. • Interpretive Signage – Add interpretive signage and wayfinding signage at each park throughout the park system. The signs will highlight the area that park users are in and give an overall view of the park system. This will give exposure to underutilized parks. It will also allow people new to the area to be made aware of other park offerings within the City. The anticipated price for design, materials, and installation is $20,000. This project was moved from 2020 to 2021. • Entrance signs at all parks – New minimum maintenance park entrance signs to replace the existing deteriorating signs for $33,250. • Consultant – $30,000 is included for a consultant for the Pioneer Park Master Planning process. Once the Pioneer Park Master Planning process is complete, park projects beyond 2021 may need to be postponed in order to concentrate on the Pioneer Park improvements. General park maintenance projects scheduled for 2021 include: • Trail repair and maintenance at Pioneer Park • New woodchips at the Nadeau Park playground • Continued work on buckthorn removal and general tree trimming primarily at Spooner Park but at other parks as needed 4DRAFT DOCUMENT 10-09-2020
