4) Playground timbers, pea rock, 92 2,000 reformat equipment 5) Signage w/safety gate (park entrance) 50O TOTALS: 128 $6,950 At the Budget Committee meeting of June 23, 1992 Staff was directed to contact the neighborhood for input. The neighborhood south of the Boy Scout Camp, north of 153rd Avenue N.W. and east of State Highway #47, will be sent a copy of this case. At the Budget Committee meeting, Staff presented that we receive weekly (or better) contact from citizens wishing to receive park development. Due to density in this area, lack of park facilities, the barrier presented by the river, land use and roadways, an expenditure in Woodland Green Park appears warranted. Further, the proposed improvement will not create increased maintenance expense (as opposed to development of Reilley East Park). It was further presented that Council's options are to: 1) 2) 3) 4) Do nothing Pursue an alternative project Propose the development within the 1993 budget Fund the project from 1992 It was presented that Option ~ was the preferred Staff choice with Option #3 also acceptable. We offered that 1992 development could occur by allocating funds in the following manner: Redisfficting refund from Anoka County Pr/mary election reimbursement Park supplies budget $3,102 2,370 1,47~ $6,950 The Council also has the following budgetary options available to it: Fund/Line Current Undesignated Balance 1992 Contingency Park Trust Fund Charitable Gambling Fund Other Operating Lines $ 14,187 107,252 6,380 N/A Recommendation: Authorize Park Department to proceed with the project under the funding option presented to the Budget Committee contingent upon review/comment from the neighborhood.
