Redevelopment of Central Park's Access and Parking The essence of this project is improving the flow and direction of internal park traffic to improve safety and also adding parking by acquiring additional land east of the existing park. The process and dialog to receive the land is in process. The estimated $135,000+ would come from the Park Trust Fund. Landscape Improvements for Parks Each year, $5,000 are included within the CIP for landscape projects with volunteers. This $10,000 represents adding landscape and trees within 'North Park' in The COR. Presently City Council is looking at the 7- acre, City -owned parcel to identify what ratio of the property may be sold, and what is needed for park uses. This represents the 2010 and 2011 CIP allocations, for a early spring project. A plan can be expected to be before the Commission in March. Parking Lot for Rhinestone Commons As the Commission may recall, this was bid as part of the construction of The Draw, but was 'pulled' due to bidding irregularities. Staff will receive City Council approval and let bids on this estimated $150,000 improvement for March. The funding is 'fees collected from developers', (Park Trust Fund). Park Security Enhancements This capital improvement represents 360 degree digital camera surveillance for both Sunfish Lake Park, and the skate park area at Alpine Park. the $15,000 Park Trust Fund project is expected to be discussed in early spring and may be somewhat conditional with the installation of fiber optic cable in the ROW of the adjoining roads. Funding Source: The funding sources for the 2011 Parks' Capital Improvements are listed with the individual projects above, and are predominately the Park Trust Fund, (fees collected from developers). Council Action: Commission Action: Motion to proceed with the 2011 Parks' Capital Improvements as presented.
