MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 8, 1995
TO: Parks and Recreation Council Committee
Ray Tomlinson, Chair
FROM: Jenny Schroder, Director of Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services
SUBJECT: 1995 CPAC Project Funding Request
At the May 4 Parks and Recreation Commission meeting, the Commission recommended
approval of the seven projects as outlined in my April 28 memo (attached). The total funding
request is $32,200. The 1995 CIP budget for sports field upgrades has a balance of $170,000.
To date, these funds have not been earmarked for specific projects.
The Parks and Recreation Commission did ask staff to clarify whether or not CIP monies could
fund CPAC's request for the rental of sani -cans. The Finance Department has confirmed that
the rental of sani -cans is not an allowable expense. Therefore, the Parks and Recreation Council
Committee should only consider the projects numbered one through six (1 -6) of my April 28
memo.

MEMORANDUM

TO: Parks and Recreation Council Committee
Ray Tomlinson, Chair
FROM: Jenny Schroder, Director of Parks, Recreation & Cultural Services
SUBJECT: Parks and Recreation Commission CIP Recommendation for Parks
The Parks and Recreation Commission held a special meeting on April 27 to prepare the 1996
CIP recommendation and the parks six -year Capital Facilities Plan. The attached spread sheet
shows ongoing commitment for acquisition and development for neighborhood parks, a sports
complex and sports fields. The Commission recommended that funds specifically identified for
acquisition be carried forward until the desired amount of acquisition has been completed. This
recommendation is in part recognizing the restraints the City may have in some years to fund
acquisitions on an annual basis.
Direction from the Council Committee will provide staff with specific guidelines as to project
scope and funding amounts to prepare for the 1996 budget requests for park capital improvement
projects.
