PARK BOARD February 4, 1985 Page Two 1985 BUDGET AND 1984 CASH FLOW Mr. Schumacher reported that $6, 000 has been put into the Park Department budget from the General Fund, which is a new action in 1985. With the development of the Country Lakes Park, it was evidently felt that this was a necessary action. The Board was pleased and hope this sets a precedent for future years. Mr. Schumacher also pointed out that some of the figures on the Cash Flow Analysis may be misleading, such as the negative $43,000 figure under LawCon Grant . The City is presently in the process of submitting for reimbursement for this amount . Mr. Lindy entered the meeting at 7 : 45 P.M. Mr. Volk explained that the entire City ' s budget for disease tree control falls in the Park Department budget rather that a separate budget for 'Forestry ' just for this item. There is a person on board trained and working in this area. The $6 ,000 figure allotted covers the whole City and is directed toward the developed resi- dential districts. The figure of $1,000 to Centennial Recreation was questioned. It was explained what the Centennial Recreation Department does and that it generally is for Centennial School District . The Board questioned why no money is budgeted for the other school districts. Mr. Volk said there has never been a request from the other districts. SUNSET OAKS PARK DEDICATION Mr. Volk and Mr. Schumacher reported that after consulting with Mr. Stanley , the developer of Sunset Oaks, the following was learned: - Mr. Stanley said he spent $8,600 for tot lot equipment and used one acre (a worth of $1 , 500) from his subdivision. His total amount spent for park totals $10, 100. - The total subdivision is approximately 280 acres. At $1,500 per acre (this is a value used by the City for computation purposes) , this totals $420, 000. - Park dedication is figured at 10% of the $420,000 figure, which equals $42, 000 as the total park dedication Mr. Stanley should pay for his total subdivision. - $42,000 less the $10, 100 already spent by Mr. Stanley leaves an amount of $31,900 or 21 acres that Mr. Stanley still owes. The Board discussed the option of 21 acres, or $31, 900 or a combina- tion of the two, and after studying the map of the subdivision the following motion was made. r. Mr. Ray Johnson moved to have the City staff contact Mr. Stanley asking for Lots 13, 14, 15 and 16 of Block 2 of his subdivision to be used as park and the balance of the park dedication in cash. Mr. Scherer seconded the motion. The motion carried unanimously. Mr. Schumacher and Mr. Volk agreed to take responsibility for the negotiation with Mr. Stanley.
