BACKGROUND:
The Park Board has recommended to the City Council the following goals for 2003:
Clearwater Creek Park Development $75,000
Highland Meadows Park Development $75,000
Pheasant Hills Northeast Trail $45,000
Birch Park - Open Air Shelter $25,000

Clearwater Creek Park Development ($75,000) - This park began development in 2001.
The additional dollars will be used for final grading of the entire park area,' /z court
basketball court, paving internal trails, irrigation, and seeding. Upon completion of
Clearwater Creek Park, the City will be reimbursed $125,000 from an Outdoor Recreation
Grant awarded in 2001.
Highland Meadows Park Development ($75,000) - This park began development in 2002.
The additional dollars will provide playground equipment, complete the 'A court basketball
court, seed the entire park area, and provide park amenities such as park benches and
picnic tables.
Pheasant Hills Northeast Trail ($45,000) - The City has been working with the Pheasant
Hills Homeowners Association to provide a trail connection to the Regional Park Reserve
Trail System. The City Council recently approved Resolution 02 -178 that outlines an
arrangement to provide a quitclaim deed for a trail easement. The funding for this project
will provide an asphalt trail from Sherman Lake Road to the Regional Park Reserve Trail
System.
Birch Park - Open Air Shelter ($25,000) With recent completion of the boardwalk, Birch
Park is used by residents in several nearby developments. An open shelter will be a nice
amenity for area residents and participants in our summer playground program. Also, an
open air shelter is indicated on the master plan.

•
Behm's Park - % Court Basketball ($10,000) - A 1/2 court basketball court has been
requested by residents adjacent to Behm's Park and is indicated in the master plan.
Sunrise Park - Pave Parking Lots ($65,000) - Since Sunrise Park is our most heavily used
neighborhood park, paving the parking areas will provide more efficient parking and
eliminate the dust problem on windy days. Public Works staff will stripe the parking Tots in-
house.
Pursue Full Court Basketball at Rice Lake Elementary ($20,000) - Residents and Park
Board members have expressed the need /desire for a full size basketball court. Rice Lake
Elementary School seems to be the most logical location. Discussion with the Centennial
School District will need to occur to determine whether this is possible.
Funding for the above goals will be from the Dedicated Parks Fund.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is my recommendation that the City Council approve Resolution 03 -31, approving the
2003 Park Board Goals and authorize staff to implement the goals as presented.
