<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />DATE: February 1, 2023 <br /> <br />TO: Park Board Members <br /> <br />FROM: Rick DeGardner, Public Services Director <br /> <br />RE: Park and Trail Fund <br /> <br /> <br />The adopted 2023 General Fund Operating budget includes: <br />• 200 ft. of materials to fix the boardwalk in the Foxborough development - $15,000 <br />• Replace the Rice Lake Elementary basketball court - $40,000 <br />• Sealcoat two parking lots at Sunrise Park - $54,000 <br />• Paint and re-coat the pickleball courts at North Pointe Park - $7,000 <br />• Repair Country Lakes Lane Trail - $75,000 <br />The Park Board discussed potential parks and trails projects for 2023 during the July and August <br />Park Board meetings. The following projects were recommended for City Council consideration in <br />the August 4, 2022 memo that was sent to Mayor Rafferty and City Council members. <br /> <br />o Replace Brandywood Park Playground Equipment (installed in 2000) <br />o Replace Birchwood Acres Park Playground Equipment (installed in 1996) <br />o Replace Lino Park Shelter (constructed in 1986) <br /> <br />The Park and Trail Undesignated Fund Balance is $270,990. Assuming a typical playground <br />installation of $70,000 for equipment, and $25,000 for play container edging and engineered <br />wood fiber (similar to the Woods Edge Park Project in 2022) for Brandywood Park and Birchwood <br />Acres Park, that leaves a remaining balance of $80,990 for the Lino Park shelter. This won’t be <br />enough to cover the shelter, installation, footings, and concrete floor. Therefore, staff suggests <br />postponing the Lino Park shelter project until 2024. <br /> <br /> <br />Attachments <br />Memo dated August 4, 2022 to Mayor and City Council <br />Park and Trail Improvement Fund (Dated January 20, 2023) <br />Park Board Minutes August 3, 2022
