4 2 COUNCIL WORK SESSION <br />CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN <br />discussed. <br />APRIL 26, 1990 <br />PARKS /RECREATION /FORESTRY <br />ReForestation Program. Mr. Volk explained that there may be <br />money coming from the Federal Government for Urban <br />Reforestation. It is a high priority. Another funding <br />source for this program may be a fee collected along with the <br />building permit. <br />Park Land Acquisition. Mr. Volk noted a problem is obtaining <br />good park land from developers. He noted that the money in <br />lieu of land ($400.00 per dwelling) should be increased to <br />discourage developers from demanding that their dedication be <br />money in lieu of land. Mr. Volk noted that some cities are <br />charging up to $1,200.00 per dwelling. He noted the <br />negotiations that are currently under way regarding Dennis <br />Erickson. <br />There has been considerable discussion regarding the need for <br />a southside community park. The Apitz property has been <br />discussed as a possible location. <br />Bituminous Trails. Mr. Volk explained that currently <br />developers must construct the trails and bring them to a <br />gravel base condition before the City will accept dedication. <br />He suggested establishing a separate account that would <br />accumulate funds from developers for the maintenance of the <br />trails. <br />Mayor Bisel suggested that the City consider a policy that <br />says when a certain number of homes are constructed in a <br />subdivision, a certain acreage of parkland must be developed. <br />Sign at City Hall. Mr. Volk said that he feels the <br />identification sign at city hall should be changeable. A <br />programmable sign would be the most convenient. <br />Mr. Schumacher explained that the Centennial Fire District <br />Steering Committee has hired a consultant to go through the <br />process of hiring a new fire chief. The consultant would <br />like to talk to the Council to determine what type of a <br />person the Council is interested in hiring.
