MOTION

FROM: Emily Becker, City Planner
AGENDA ITEM: Savona Park
REVIEWED BY: Kristina Handt, City Administrator
Rob Weldon, Public Works Director
BACKGROUND:
Development of a Savona Park (Phase 1) is an approved item on the 2017-2021 Capital Improvement Program
for the year 2017.
The Parks Commission has heard feedback from Savona residents as well as Staff recommendation regarding
equipment, materials and pricing for the development of Phase 1 of Savona Park at its August and November
2016 and February and March 2017 meetings. Staff had received three bids for the equipment and amenities
which Savona residents had communicated via surveys they would like to see in the Park.
The Parks Commission reviewed the bid options and recommended that the following equipment and
amenities, bid on by Webber Recreational Design, be included in Savona Park Phase 1, not to exceed funds of
$150,000:
•Playground equipment (including tables and benches)
•Half basketball court (asphalt with concrete border)
•Basketball hoop
•Surface (wood mulch)
o The Parks Commission had many in-depth discussions over the course of several months
regarding wood mulch vs. rubber mulch, and it was determined that due to complaints and
investigations across the country in to adverse health effects that may be associated with
rubber mulch, that wood mulch would be a better option for playground surfacing as opposed
to rubber mulch going forward.
•Site grading
ISSUE BEFORE COMMISSION:
The Council is being asked to review recommended equipment and amenities for Savona Park Phase 1 and
approve funds for the park not to exceed $150,000.
PROPOSAL DETAILS/ANALYSIS:
Savona Residents’ Preferences. As previously indicated, Savona residents were surveyed on which items
they would most like to see in the park. They also had the opportunity to review the bid designs and prices and
concurred that Webber’s option shown in attachments to this reports was preferred. Residents also expressed
interest in a zipline, bocceball court, and exercise equipment, however, these were not included in Phase 1 due
to pricing.
Design Layout. Staff recently visited the park and has drafted a design layout, accommodating existing
grading and maintaining surrounding residents’ privacy as much as possible. The draft design layout is
attached. The proposed layout includes removing most trees on the west side of the proposed trail. Staff feels
that these are not significant trees and should be removed to provide additional open space.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Up to $150,000 used of park dedication funds. Current park dedication fund balance as of 3/16/17 is $975,417.0.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff and the Parks Commission recommend that the Council approve funding for Phase 1 of Savona Park not
to exceed the amount of $150,000 for the installation of playground equipment, half basketball court, basketball
hoop, wood mulch surfacing, as well as site grading.
“Motion to approve funding for Phase 1 of Savona Park for the installation of recommended playground
