DATE: June 20, 2017
REGULAR
ITEM #: 22
AGENDA ITEM: Remaining Parks 2017 CIP Items
TO: Mayor and City Council
SUBMITTED BY: Kristina Handt, City Administrator
BACKGROUND:
The 2017-2021 CIP included five projects in the parks department for this year. Three of them have been
approved for purchase of bids. The two projects yet to be started are improvements at Pebble Park and a
trail along 50th Street. At their special meeting to work on the CIP on May 30th, the Parks Commission is
recommending the Council not complete the 50th St trail and Pebble Park improvements in 2017 because
of exceeding planned spending in 2017 and the establishment of new priorities.
ISSUE BEFORE COUNCIL:
Should Council direct staff to proceed with remaining Parks CIP items for 2017?
PROPOSAL:
The Parks Commission is recommending the following items not be completed this year:
PR-002, 50th Street Trail for $140,000;
PR-005, Pebble Park Improvements for $80,000 (restrooms, lighting and security features).
If Council still wants to proceed with these items this year, they should direct staff to obtain quotes for the
Pebble Park Improvements. Further direction would need to be given to authorize the City Engineer to
complete a feasibility study of the 50th St trail as is the typical process with any work in the right of way.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The estimated cost of these projects is $220,000. This number, as noted in the CIP last year, does not
include right of way acquisition for the trail on 50th St.
OPTIONS:
1) Direct staff to proceed with the Pebble Park Improvements and 50th St Trail
2) Direct staff to proceed with either the Pebble Park Improvements or the 50th St Trail
3) Support Parks Commission recommendation of not completing these projects in 2017
RECOMMENDATION:
Motion to support Parks Commission recommendation to not complete Pebble Park and 50th
St Trail improvements in 2017.
