J MEMORANDUM TO: Linda Elliott FROM: Marty Asleson DATE: January 23, 1993 SUBJECT: Goal Summary 1993 Please find attached a breakdown of the priorities that are set forth in the comprehensive plan as well as cost ranges. If the totals for the top 6 Acquisition priorities are totaled, the estimate for implementation would cost $259, 000. 00. This would include the acquisition of the additional A-1, City Hall Land. The Park Board has shifted their perception of the priority ranking of A-1 with A-3 (the south side athletic complex acquisition) . Thus, the real cost of acquisition implementation becomes higher at around $445, 000. This is the real cost of acquisition. The same high costs occur with development with the cost estimate at around $610,000.00. This was the reason for the special Park Board meeting, to try to come to grips with the fiscal reality of here and now. In addition to the priorities as defined in the attached spreadsheet the Park Board, as described in the comprehensive plan, wishes to not sacrifice the small improvement and upgrade needs of the parks in lieu of expansion elsewhere. In order to make the present parks more usable the board wished to look at the following priorities: 1. $10, 000-$12,000 for a hockey rink on the north side of the City. Probably City Hall Park. 2 . $2000. 00-$4000.00 for re-master planning Country Lakes Park. 3. $2000.00-$4000.00 for master planning the n-14 park area. Although the reality of an established 6 acre park at this time is uncertain. 4. $12, 000-$15,000.00 to replace the playground at Leonard and Bradley. S. $12, 000-$14,000.00 to pave the existing gravel trails for 1993; and to keep up with a paving program for trails as new trails are dedicated. The Park Board was some what split on the Acquisition/Development but they all agreed that the Acquisition of the prioritized land �"'� areas is important. We also have an ongoing need to add equipment
