CONSIDER APPROVAL OF A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING
EXPENDITURES FOR MISCELLANEOUS PARK APPURTENANT
EQUIPMENT AS IDENTIFIED IN THE 2004 CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT
PROGRAM
History
The Parks portion of the Capital Improvement Program (C.I.P.) includes a variety of
smaller purchases under the heading of "appurtenant equipment". While none of these
purchases exceed the $50,000 bid limit, they do require City Council authorization to
expend the money because the funds are provided by the Capital Park Fund. The
purpose of this agenda item is to authorize the staff to proceed with these purchases in
accordance with City code and City purchasing policy. The Council would approve
each purchase as part of invoices to be paid.
Current Circumstances
The following is a detailed list of items that are identified for purchase in the 2004
C.I.P.

Volleyball Courts
Volleyball courts are very popular among neighborhoods and at picnic gatherings.
Volleyball courts benefit both youth and adults in Prior Lake. Residents and park users
have expressed an interest to upgrade the existing court located by Shelter #2 at Sand
Point Beach. In addition, a volleyball court is scheduled for construction at Wilds Park.
The proposed courts will be 50 feet wide and 85 feet long, with concrete curb installed
around it to help contain the sand. City maintenance staff would install the sand and
nets, but would need to hire a contractor to install the concrete border.
Trees
Currently there is $10,000 budgeted in the Parks portion of the annual operating budget
for plant materials. An additional $10,000 is earmarked from the Capital Park Fund to
keep up with the tree planting replacement program and the re-forestation project
planned for Lakefront Park.

system.
Park Sif!ns
In 2001 the Prior Lake City Council made a financial commitment to install permanent
maintenance free park signs that are composed of natural materials and identifies the
community throughout its logo. The location for installation of signs in 2004 is Timber
Crest Park, Haas Lake Park and Wilds North Park.
Our community has invested millions in park improvements. These park signs will
identify our parks for residents and visitors.
Purchasing of products and services in each of the four above described categories will
be done in accordance with state statutes and the City's purchasing policy.
Budget Impact
The 2004 C.LP. has programmed the amounts set forth in this memo for miscellaneous
park appurtenant equipment. The cost of this material and equipment will be drawn
from the Capital Park Fund, in an amount not to exceed each of the maximum amounts
set forth.in the table unless there is explicit City Council authorization.
The alternatives are as follows:
1. Approve Resolution 04-XX authorizing expenditures for miscellaneous park
appurtenant equipment.
2. Table this agenda item for a specific reason.
3. Deny this agenda item for a specific reason and provide staff with direction.
