Notable additions or amendments include the Arboretum Business Park Lot 12 trail, Lyman Boulevard trail improvements, the Pioneer Trail gap project and initial development of the South Park Preserve. The Commission has a month or two to work on this draft document prior to making a recommendation to the City Council. Staff will review each of the listed projects in detail at the July 24th meeting. Also attached is an updated park dedication fund history. Revenue estimates have been reduced significantly with the softening of the development market. However, yearend balance forecasts remain strong due to an existing cash balance exceeding $3 million and proposed expenditures closely aligning with our Income. The park and trail acquisition and development capital improvement program is the "master plan" behind the future of our park and trail system. I look forward to working with the commission on the further development of this important document. c: Todd Gerhardt, City Manager Kate Aanenson, Community Development Director Greg Sticha, Finance Director Paul Oehme, Public Works Director/City Engineer Laurie Hokkanen, Assistant City Manager UPDA TE - AUGUST 28. 2007 On July 24, the Park and Recreation Commission continued this item to August 28, 2007.
