MEMO TO: MAYOR AND C^UNCILMEMBERS - FiiU:': MARY SAAkIOM, DII:ECTOR �y PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY DATE: JUNE 14, 1988 SUBJECT: SILVER VIEW PARK PATHWAY The completion of Silver View Park pathway became an issue when staff received telephone calls from residents who inquired why the wood chip path did not extend around the entire pond. Staff brought this issue up to the Park and Recreation Commission in the Spying of 1987. After several meetings discussing this issue with residents, it was the desire of " Park and Recreation Commission to extend the path comple,,ely arcvnd the pond. Some residents whose homes border park land objected to the extension or the pathway. The issue was turned over to the City Council with the recommendation from the Park and Recreation Commission that the pathway be extended. The City Council held several meetings with residents during the 1-1/2 year timespan. A final plan explaining the pathway layout was developed by Engineer Dar. Boxrud (see attached). Also attached is a revieM• of Engineer Dan Boxrud's summary of the last meeting with residents, council and staff to review the layout of path. It is staff's request that Direction be given from the Council to staff regarding the extension of the path at Silver View Park. The City staff has conferred and it is the opinion that work done on the pathway could not be accomplished until f::11 of this year at the earliest. If crushed rock is the choice for surface, it would need to be Sudoeted in the 1989 budget sad therefore could not be constructed until the spring of 1989. The cost of using 5/16 minus (a crushed rock substance) as a surface would be $1.,109.25 for materials. Plantings would be stressed if planted during the summer months and there is already a long list of summer maintenance projects to be completed. City Council direction is requested. MS/SL eAttachment
