The only expenditure out of the Special Park Fund was for consultant fees (WSB and <br />Associates) to take a closer look at the road construction projects adjacent to Lions Park. <br />Staff will present the Lions Park Plan estimates (same as previous discussions) for your review. <br />At the meeting of October 14, 2015, the Parks Commission heard a proposal from Brigid <br />Kamus, representing the Fable Hill HOA. The HOA would like to make a donation of $20,000 <br />towards the installation of a playground in the new park in Fable Hill. The Parks Commission <br />recommended the discussion be continued with the CIP discussion. Fable Hill is the only <br />neighborhood park that has been on the Parks CIP the last few years. It has been slated for <br />2018 in the amount of $70,000. Staff has estimated that play equipment and soft surfacing <br />would cost approximately $70,000 plus $10,000 for concrete curb and site work. The <br />neighborhood is also requesting a sports court. Staff estimates that a striped, asphalt, double <br />basketball hoop court would cost approximately $35,000. A sports court could range in cost <br />from $20,000 to $60,000 depending on the size and finished appearance. Staff will present <br />examples for the range in prices. <br />Here are the options the Parks Commission should consider <br />1) Accepting the donation and installing the playground (estimated total cost $80,000) <br />2) Accepting the donation and installing the playground and sports court (estimated total <br />cost $100,000 to $140,000) <br />3) Doing nothing at this time. Playground installation could be considered in future CIPs. <br />Staff recommends that the Commission update the Parks Capital Improvement Plan for review <br />by the City Council. <br />The 2015 CIP is attached. Also attached is the Special Park Fund, Park Dedication Log, Lions <br />Park estimates and a letter from the Fable Hill HOA. <br />9:00 pm Adjournment <br />
