Recommendation: Staff recommends approving this Resolution noting that: #1 The restroom and shelter for Riverdale Park was identified as part of the local match for the Mississippi River Trail project grant application approved by City Council Resolution in 2009. Additionally, it was included in the 2012 Capital Improvement Project (CIP) and then forwarded again as part of the proposed 2013 CIP. #2 Each Parks Capital Improvement project (in aggregate) is going to be reviewed by City Council at work session later this winter. #3 As part of the above discussion, the Mississippi River Trail (MRT) project will also come before Council due to the increases in cost estimates. #4 The Riverdale restroom and shelter will also come before City Council for specific approval after quotes are received. #5 If the MRT project would not move forward for any reason, the Resolution becomes, in effect, moot. #6 Lastly, the restroom and shelter for Riverdale Park are 'stand alone' improvements and have important benefits to any park patrons in the vicinity of the neighborhood park - with or without relationship to the regional trail, and therefore should move forward, subsequent to approval (#4 above). Funding Source: The funding source (as identified in the Parks' CIP) is the Park Improvement Trust Fund (which has an approximate beginning year balance of $4.2 million dollars). Note: Approval of this Resolution does not authorize any expenditures - but does warrant that the project will be performed.
