CASE #1 RECOMMEND MODIFICATIONS TO DRAFT C.I.P. FOR THE TENTATIVE AUGUST PUBLIC HEARING By: Parks/Utilities Supervisor Mark Boos Background: Attached is the first draft of the 1999-2004 Parks Capital Improvement Program (C.I.P.). This five year plan is a revision of the Commission's 1997 - 2003 plan, as modified from the discussion occurring at June's regular meeting. At the June meeting, the Commission asked to have available the Park Trust Fund status by individual recreation district. This information will be available at the meeting. As indicated, the plan is in draft form. It is expected that it may be modified substantially. In addition, it should be noted that only one trail project is discussed in the plan. (Trott Brook partial construction in 2XXX). The Commission may want to discuss the earlier plan of a trail along Co. Rd. 83 to 153rd Avenue, then west to Lake Itasca. This concept was actually a part of a draft C.I.P. in 1996. The Commission will also note that critical trail links are not shown in the draft plan. This is because they will be proposed to be funded from the Economic Development Authority (EDA) as has occurred in 1997 and 1998. These individual projects will be brought to the Park Commission separately. While the Commission has, for some time, had the five year C.I.P. request finalized in August of- each year, there is no particular urgency. However, the C.I.P. should be finalized no later than September/October. Commission Action: Provide detailed recommendations on the five year C.I.P., with emphasis on 1999.
