<br /> <br /> <br />DATE: September 1, 2021 <br /> <br />TO: Park Board Members <br /> <br />FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director <br /> <br />RE: Discuss 2022 Park Board Goals <br /> <br /> <br />Each year the Park Board typically recommends parks and trails projects to the City Council for <br />consideration. Funding is usually provided through the Dedicated Parks Fund, Park and Trail <br />Improvement Fund, and General Fund. <br /> <br />At this point there doesn’t appear to be much undesignated funds in the Dedicated Parks Fund <br />and Parks and Trails Fund. This may change after the Lino Park and Tower Park projects are <br />completed in 2022. The City Council is currently in the process of establishing the 2022 General <br />Fund Budget. At this time, there is $90,000 allocated for the Parks and Trails Fund. <br /> <br />The following is a list of potential projects that the Park Board has previously discussed: <br />• Birchwood Acres Park - New playground and expansion <br />• Development of Country Lakes Park <br />• Brandywood Park - Replace playground equipment <br />• Additional hard surface courts throughout parks system <br />• City Hall Park - New playground equipment and pave parking lot <br />• Marshan Park - New playground equipment and add park shelter <br />• Woods of Baldwin Lake Park - New playground equipment and park upgrade <br />• Sunset Oaks - New playground equipment <br />• Trails - Century Farm North <br />• Lois Lane Trail <br />• Tower Park - Installing the basketball court and/or open-air shelter, as well as the creation <br />of a dog park. <br /> <br />I have also included the Existing Playground Equipment Inventory. Pat Huelman has developed <br />some great information regarding parks and trails project summaries. Perhaps Pat will be willing to <br />share his wisdom and insights on our parks and trails system needs! <br /> <br /> <br />
