Item 84-133 Park Board ConstructionDATE: October 30, 1984
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
THROUGH: William Craig, City Manager
FROM: Hopkins Park Board QQ
BY: Richard Wilson, Recreation and Park Director /t
SUBJECT: Capital Improvement Projects
During the 1985 park budget deliberation, the staff and Board discussed
a variety of capital improvement projects for City parks. Those in-
cluded:
1) New surface on the basketball court at Valley Park to put it
in playing condition. It currently is in a concave shape
and stores water in the middle.
2) Playground equipment for Elmo Park - -this "sub neighborhood
park" is located on the City well grounds, north of the
Elmo Park housing area. The playground equipment consists
of a set of six pony gliders and a tire play structure.
Formerly, when a larger park area was available, there was
also a sun shelter. Recently, a merry -go -round that was
approximately 20 years old, was removed and junked. The
Park Board recommends providing a 10' diameter merry -go-
round and a slide.
3) New surfacing on the basketball /volleyball /badminton/
tetherball court at Burnes Park to raise it to the point
that storm water will run off.
4) Installation of a new underground irrigation system for
Burnes Park.
Projects (1) and (2) above were recommended to be accomplished in the
1985 general fund maintenance budget and project (3) from the 1984
maintenance budget. No recommendation was submitted regarding the
irrigation system at Burnes Park.
It is the City Manager's opinion that the discussed improvements, if
accomplished, should be financed utilizing the PARK CONSTRUCTION FUND.
The park construction fund is the same fund that the City's portion of
the cost for the Burnes Park sun shelter, and improvements at Hilltop
and Shady Oak Nature Park, were financed from, and currently totals
about $33,000.
