The <br />tree spade has been included in the 1981 Budget. <br />c. Pirnic and Free Play - The Consultant recommended <br />421,150. Staff would recommend $391,150, a reduc- <br />tion of $30,000 which is mainly in picnic tables <br />and barbeque grills. it is Staff's feelings that <br />we can construct picnic tables in-house which will <br />make for a difference of $30,000. <br />d. Bike Trails - The Consultant recommended $111,650 <br />for construction of bike trails. Staff would re- <br />commend that this total remain the same as the bike <br />trails are an intergral part oE the entire park system. <br />e. Site Amenities - The Consultant recommended <br />229,750. Staff would recommend this be reduced <br />by $70,000 to a total of $159,700. The major <br />deletions in this category would be formal bike <br />racks, trash barrels and ornamental lightinq at <br />Greenfield Park. <br />f. Play Areas - The Consultanh recommended $491,700 <br />for play areas and Staff would recommend that this <br />numbered be reduced by 5200,000 to a total of <br />291,700. This would entail using a great daa of <br />the existing playground equipment and e reduction from <br />the "Cadellac Level" being proposed by the:Consultant. <br />in addition, we would be using a great deal of in- <br />house labor to relocate existing equipment. <br />Sof.tball/Baseball Development - The Consultant recom- <br />mended $138,950. Staff would recommend the.elimina- . <br />tion of $54,300 leaving a total of $89,600. Thie.is <br />the one area Staff has the most difficalty in secom-' <br />mendinq as it eliminates the power raking of the out- <br />fields oE 8 neighborhood parks and shortning the <br />exi.sting infields. It is Staff's feelinga that our <br />infields and outf ield are currently adequate and <br />the project of over seeding and fertilizing the out- <br />fields can be done under an improved Park Maintenanca <br />program. _ _ _,. - <br />Marked Nature Trails - The Conaulta t recommen8ed <br />529,80Q for the development of marked nature trfils <br />at Greenfield Park. Staff feels that this is an <br />improvad phaae in the develo unent of Greenfield Park <br />and would not recommend that the project be 6ut.
