MEMO TO: MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBERS FROM: MARY SAARION, DIRECTOR PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY DATE: MAY 31, 1989 SUBJECT: OAKWOOD PARK IMPROVEMENT PLAN The Parks and Recreation Commission has been working on ideas for an Oakwood Park improvement plan. Ideas for this plan originated from residents who were invited to a meeting for their input on needs at Oakwood Park. A survey was sent to surrounding residents requesting ideas for Oakwood Park improvements. The Commission has spent the last two meetings discussing prices, site plans and needs for park improvements at Oakwood. Here is a list, approximate cost and total cost of a plan for Oakwood Park. This plan will be open for review by residents who will be invited to the .lune 22, Park and Recreation Commission meeting. The Parks and Recreation Commission proposes to fund these Oakwood Park improvements with a portion of the $50,000 Park Dedication Fees received in 1989 from Sysco, Corp.

The proposed plan offers adequate drainage using a crowning affect on the infield. SEH provided an alternate plan which offered much better drainage at twice the cost. The Commission reviewed the two SEH plans and offered revision ideas for the first less expensive plan to offer some additional drainage with minimal cost increase. This revised plant is the one recommended by the Parks and Recreation Commission. MS/SL
