Case <br /> <br /> DETERMINE BUDGET FOR 1996 <br /> IMPROVEMENTS FOR EMERALD POND PARK <br /> By: Mark Boos, Parks/Utilities Supervisor <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Prior to this case, weather permitting, the Commission will have conducted a tour of Emerald Pond <br />Park. The purpose is to exam/ne the improvements to date and to agree on the value of proposed <br />improvements. <br /> <br />The consensus of the Commission last month was that irrigation was a high priority as well as <br />development of the picnic island with a fire ring and rustic seating and landscaping. The other <br />items unanimously agreed upon, were a basketball standard and additional landscaping. In <br />addition, the Victorian era mating and garden with a water fountain scored well, assuming there <br />was adequate budget. <br /> <br />The one item not thoroughly addressed, was the sidewalk issue. Individual discussions with <br />Commissioners seemed to indicate that the 534 foot segment along Potassium to 144th Lane was <br />an acceptable choice. The rationale is that persons traveling from the Sunwood Drive area along <br />Potassium would be off the roadway until they reached 144th Lane. From there they could shift <br />west one block on street and then south on street to Quicksilver, to the parks northerly entrance. <br /> <br />This project should be timed with the developer sponsored sidewalk further north on Potassium. <br />The approximateS5,184 required should be reserved until then. <br /> <br />An additional question that relates to the landscape budget preparation is - should the arboretum <br />concept be continued with plant identification plaquards? <br /> <br />Enclosed for your information: <br /> <br />1) March 1996, Case #3 <br /> <br />A draft budget will be provided to you at the 5:30 p.m. tour in April. <br /> <br />City Council's Finance Committee will receive the Commission's budget for Emerald Pond Park <br />on April 23, 1996. Staff recommends a motion to recommend City Council approve the budget <br />(based on budget consensus at this meeting). <br /> <br />Commission Action: <br /> <br />Based upon discussion. <br /> <br />Reviewed by: <br /> <br />City Engineer <br />Parks/Utilities Supervisor <br /> <br />Copies Also Distributed to: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />Finance Officer <br />Community Development Intern Sue Matthews <br /> <br />P&R: 4/11/96 <br /> <br />/kas <br /> <br />I <br />I <br /> <br />I <br /> <br /> I <br /> I' <br /> I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br />I <br /> <br /> <br />
