added to the parkland funds (Lennar dedication fees), the commission is proposing that the
volleyball court be added in 2014 as part of the first phase improvements. Costs to construct the court will not exceed $20,000. Budgetary considerations: as part of their 2014 plan of work, the Park Commission had
anticipated spending a total of $220,000 in 2014 toward the improvements to existing parks. To
date, $130,916 has been approved for improvements to existing parks (Park signs, Sunfish Gate, Pebble Park phase 1), and $155,000 has been approved for new park development (Oak-Land JPA & Sanctuary). The current balance after approved payouts sits at $852,947.61 (fund reconciliation report attached).
RECOMMENDATION: Staff is recommending that the City Council authorizes the expenditure of parkland dedication funds, not to exceed $20,000, to purchase materials and construct a volleyball court in Pebble Park. If removed from the consent agenda, the recommended motion for this action is as follows:
“Move to approve the expenditure of no more than $20,000 in parkland dedication funds for
the purchase and construction of a volleyball court in Pebble Park.”
