PAUL HOKENESS, PARKS & RECREATION DIRECTOR
CONSIDER APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT TO 1996 PARKS
AND TRAIL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
MARCH 18, 1996
The purpose of this item is to consider amending the 1996
Parks and Trail Capital Improvement Program.
Staff feels that priorities have changed and that our 1996
improvements should be consistent with a change in Parks and
Recreation Department philosophy and community requests
and concerns. At the March 11 th Parks Advisory Committee
meeting the committee reviewed the proposed 1996 C.I.P.
amendment and passed a motion approving the amendment
contingent upon Council approval.
Attached are pages which identify the projects that constitute
the 1996 Park and Trail Capital Improvement Program.
There are items which were identified in the 1996 C.I.P. which
the staff would recommend be rescheduled for future years.
One of the items listed in the C.I.P. (#8) are basketball courts.
We constructed three single courts and one double court in
1995 and would like to construct two courts in 1996 one being
at Carriage Hills and the other at Green Oaks. We were slated
to do four courts in 1996 but two of the parks will not be ready
(Cardinal Ridge and The Wilds).
Item #9 is picnic shelters. We now have picnic shelters
constructed at all locations that have summer playground
programs, which was our top priority. The shelters were
constructed by the Sentence to Service crew. Staff would
recommend that in 1996 we would utilize this crew to build
toilet enclosures for our portable restrooms rather than picnic
shelters. These enclosures would be constructed at our
summer playground sites as well as any of the other sites
which have portable restrooms. These enclosures are wooden
structures which allow for additional privacy by the users, are
more aesthetically pleasing to the neighbors, and protect the
portable toilets from vandalism (tip overs).

ISSUES:
Two criteria merit consideration in determining whether these
Capital Improvement Program revisions should be approved.
A discussion of each is shown below.
1. How will the project revisions be received by existing
residents who have paid their fees and are awaiting park
facility construction?
Only one such change is contemplated. The Wild's
neighborhood parks will be delayed until the development
stabilizes and we have a better understanding of the
development's needs. All other new park development will
proceed without change.
2. How do the changes integrate with the overall plan to build
and renew city park facilities?
In the past the primary focus has been on building new parks
and not upon renewing older parks such as Green Oaks,
Indian Ridge, and Northwood. The proposed changes would
address the renewal of an older park annually. This will serve
to deliver an updated park system to our residents.
ALTERNATIVES:
1. Do not approve the amendment to the Capital Improvement
Plan and proceed with the projects as originally scheduled.
2. Amend the Capital Improvement Plan and allow staff to
proceed with the Park and Trail projects as recommended in
this report.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends Alternative #2. This alternative would allow
for the best use of funds which are included in the Parks
Capital Fund.
ACTION REQUIRED: Motion and second to approve the amendments to the 1996
Parks and Trails Capital Improvement Plan.
