DRAFT 1996-2001 PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION RECOMMENDED CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM\ NARRATIVE 1996 Central Park Expansion. This $105,000 expenditure from the Landfill Trust Fund is intended to facilitate the purchase and/or development of the 35 acres east of the existing Central Park, or fund the lighting of ballfietds 3 and 4 and other improvements to Central Park which could include additional parking and tennis courts. Readers of this text will also note that Item #14, in I998, may also assist with this initiative. e Titterud Parking Lot and Tennis Court Light Improvements. Completing the $120,000 projected expenditure from the Landfill Trust Fund in I996 would be $I5,000 allocated to pave both the upper and lower parking lots at Titterud Park and add a timer to the existing lights at the tennis court. The parks two existing sand parking lots rebeive a significant amount of activity. Currently the lots require frequent maintenance to remove ruts. Aesthetics is also a concern and paving may result in a safer parking lot environment. Blacktop also aids in access to the park by persons with mobility impairments. A timer for the existing lights will allow players to activate the lights on an on-demand basis, rather then have them come on automatically every night without regard for their need. (Motion detector lighting will also be explored.) In conjunction with this a security light would be added to the corner of the tennis court to light the playground, picnic area and the lower parking lot.
